Real Property Asset Management Plan

The 2011 Real Property Asset Management (RPAM) Plan was transmitted to the King County Council on May 16, 2011. The Plan constitutes the amendments to the Space Plan component of the County's Comprehensive Plan, as required under KCC 20.12.100 and Washington state law.

The Plan consists of three volumes:

  • Volume I: King County 2011 Real Property Asset Management Plan
  • Volume II: Short Term Space Planning and Moves, Responding to the Economic Realities of King County
  • Volume III: 2011 RPAM Appendices

The Plan addresses the broad array of real estate asset management activities performed by the County, providing direction for the County's real property management strategy. Reorganizations and consolidations of County departments and agencies will improve space utilization, reducing cost and improving asset performance. Such projects require a comprehensive approach, addressing space planning throughout the County's various facilities and locations, while incorporating greater flexibility for future space needs.

Volume I aligns interrelated real property management actions in a comprehensive real estate management model, including a vision, mission, and goals for the County's property management. Metrics illustrate the space utilization and cost of individual departmental and agency areas in the County's largest office buildings, highlighting potential areas for improvement. By "sizing the prize," targets are set for greater space efficiency and utilization in County buildings.

Volume II proposes series of departmental and agency moves to improve space utilization over the next two years. This short term plan addresses the preliminary relocations, consolidations, and reconfigurations that could occur to maximize space efficiency over the short term, including vacating floors of the Yesler and Black River Buildings.

The Plan includes ten immediate strategies for improved, innovative overall management of the County's real estate portfolio – featuring high priority plans for specific facilities, such as KCSO precincts and Public Health clinics, along with changed management approaches and programming trends. The strategies provide methods to manage real property assets as a vital, integrated component of the County's business processes, enabling greater service efficiency and leveraging the productivity of the County's existing real property investments.
