Harbour Pointe Tech Center gets another tenant

SCBJ Staff

Diligenz Inc., a Lynnwood-based information technology company, is moving its headquarters to Mukilteo’s Harbour Pointe Tech Center, which has struggled to attract tenants over the past two years.

Diligenz plans to move into its 21,000-square-foot space in February after signing a 5-1/2-year lease.

A subsidiary of CityBank, Diligenz has outgrown the 11,000 square feet it rents in a converted strip mall on 168th Street SW.

With 60 full-time employees, Diligenz is a national provider of due diligence information. That information is used by lenders and investors when deciding whether to loan or invest money in a company.

Located at 6500 Harbour Heights Parkway, the four-story, 350,000-square-foot Harbour Pointe Tech Center was a torpedo manufacturing plant until Raytheon Co. closed it in 1998. Two years later, Texas-based WiredZone paid $23 million to buy the building, and subsequently improved the facilities for technology-related tenants.

CombiMatrix Corp., a developer of biochips, moved into the center in late 2000. It leases about 90,000 square feet.

Since then, the tech industry slump and the slower market for office space in the region have combined to keep much of the building vacant.
