A bold vision

Regarded as the largest contiguous private development in Portland’s history, this project, completed in 2008, was built on the principles of placemaking, sustainability, preservation and financial viability. This innovative mixed-use approach, using public-private partnerships and a focus on preserving historical integrity transformed a nearly vacant five-block area into a 1.5 million sq. ft. vibrant 24-hour, mixed-use neighborhood with office, residential and retail spaces that are sustainable – environmentally, socially and economically. Project-wide sustainability features include energy-efficient appliances, high-efficiency glazing, rainwater harvesting, solar PV panels, and heat recovery ventilators.
