Yakima's Business Colleague

JEM Development is a family owned and operated commercial development and property management company located in the heart of the Yakima Valley, gateway to Washington’s highly-acclaimed Wine Region. Our portfolio includes office, retail, light industrial and hospitality projects. Future projects also include residential properties.
Our years in this region give us a decided edge. We understand the guiding principles of our city and county, working closely to meet the needs of all participants. JEM is a forward-looking company, artfully anticipating and predicting future trends. Yakima’s history is adorned with our vision, including the development of the Yakima Mall Shopping Center in the 1970s as well as the renovation of the Chinook Tower in the 1980s. Today, we are actively repositioning the Mall as a multi-use center, while the Tower remains the preferred address for Yakima downtown business.

We have strong relationships with the brokerage community, financial institutions, general contractors and consultants. Our rapport with the city and county of Yakima as well as organizations such as New Vision assure our continued success.
