Paragon Corporate Housing Named 2024 Tri-Cities Small Business of the Year
MARCH 27, 2025 – RICHLAND, WASHINGTON
Story by Paragon Team

Yesterday, the Paragon team celebrated a big win together.
We received the honor of being named the Tri-Cities Small Business of the Year for 2024. After 29 years of operating out of Richland, Washington, it felt truly special to be recognized by our incredible community. We’re all still smiling from ear to ear!

“This award belongs to every member of our Paragon team. Their commitment to delivering not just housing, but a genuine sense of home to our guests, is behind everything we do.”
John Crook, CEO & Founder

After the awards ceremony, we capped off the day with a celebration at one of our favorite local spots, The Social. The owner, Marc Newman, is a wine enthusiast and hospitality legend. We love that this gem is just down the road from our Richland office, and Marc is always so welcoming.

If you ever find yourself visiting the Tri-Cities area, consider us as an alternative to a hotel. Our furnished apartments have WAY more space, easy parking, and full kitchens so you can cook, relax on the couch, and stream your favorite shows.
Paragon has always taken pride in treating our guests with dignity and respect. We understand how stressful relocation can be, and we love being the kind, caring humans who help make those transitions easier. We’re always just a phone call away.
