SoDo enterprise finds UK owner
When a small SoDo warehouse sold four years ago for a bit over $3 million, the DJC called its new owner a furniture company. That’s not exactly correct. The business known as Trefethen & Co. Bader & Olson, aka Trefethen, is a specialist in high-end furniture logistics and storage. We make that distinction because the building and business are now part of Cadogan Tate, which recently announced the acquisition. Based in London, that international enterprise provides “integrated, end-to-end services across art, furniture and interiors.” Its Ben Clark said in a statement, “With Trefethen’s esteemed presence in the Pacific Northwest and expertise in moving and furniture handling, we are now able to offer clients a clear advantage, not only through our broadened geographic reach, but also by delivering a consistent standard of excellence across art, interiors and installations worldwide.” Perkins Coie advised Cadogan Tate on the deal. Terms were not announced. The warehouse is at 3430 E. Marginal Way S., just north of the Spokane Street Viaduct.
