Fortin Group

Fortin Group’s guiding principles promote family, community and fiscal responsibility. Lynda Marikos is a member of the Fortin Group Board of Directors.

Fortin Group is a collective of family-owned real estate asset management companies with deep roots in the community and a strong commitment to the continued smart growth and economic success of downtown Bellevue, WA. Fortin Group began more than a half century ago, when founder Vern Fortin and his father-in-law, Lloyd Mitchell, started Quality Food Centers (QFC) grocery stores. After selling its interest in QFC in 1986, Fortin Group has concentrated on the active management of its significant real estate portfolio in downtown Bellevue. Our values and business practices emphasize respect, integrity and collaboration—among family members, employees and stakeholders, and within the communities in which we do business. The company believes in creating enduring, economically viable places that contribute to civic vitality. We support forward-thinking planning that emphasizes connectivity, walkability and open space. Invested in the long-term success of Bellevue, Fortin Group is dedicated to working collaboratively to create a downtown that will serve as an example for other communities and a source of pride for generations to come. The company’s legacy of investing in the future of the community continues today through the principled leadership of the Fortin family, including Vern and Eleanor’s daughters Janine Florence and Lynda Marikos and grandchildren Brittany Barker, Michelle Marikos and Mark Buerk. Janine Florence has served as President & CEO of Fortin Group since 1985 and has been actively involved in business, civic and philanthropic organizations throughout the Puget Sound region. Brittany, who serves as Fortin Group’s Special Projects Manager, has an active role in managing the company’s real estate portfolio. She is also on the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a member of Bellevue Rotary and strong supporter of Overlake Medical Center. Michelle Marikos and Mark Buerk serve on the Advisory Committee to the Fortin Group Board of Directors.

As a legacy property owner, Fortin Group is invested in the long-term success of Bellevue, the second largest city center in the state of Washington, and the economic and cultural heart of the Eastside.

Our portfolio includes more than 10 prime acres located in the northwest quadrant of downtown Bellevue, bordered by NE 8th Street to the south, 100th Avenue NE to the west, NE 12th Street to the north and 102nd Avenue NE to the east. The property currently comprises Bellevue Village Shopping Center, Bellevue Village North office building and Le Chateau Apartments.

Fortin Group’s acreage is within walking distance of all that downtown has to offer and is located across the street from the Bellevue Collection, an internationally renowned hub of more than 250 shops, restaurants, hotels and condominiums. Fortin Group’s acreage is one of the largest assemblages of contiguous parcels in downtown and has the potential to become one of Bellevue’s most transformational redevelopments. Fortin Group is dedicated to working collaboratively to create a downtown that will serve as an example for other communities and a source of pride for generations to come.
