Oregon Square Portland, OR 97232

Leases of 4+ Years qualify for the recently enacted Portland Business License Tax Rebate. The proposed Oregon Square office development is part of a larger eco-district focused on sustainability, centered with district solutions around energy, water, waste, and transportation. The Oregon Square development is the second phase of the catalytic development, Hassalo on Eighth. While two of the existing buildings on Oregon Square (the 830 and 710 buildings) have, or are, being renovated, the plan is for the two south blocks to be developed as office buildings. The proposed east building (Block 103 or "East Block") is going to be six levels, and the proposed west building (Block 90 or "West Block") is going to be five levels (additional floors can be added to both buildings if needed). The buildings sit atop a continuous underground parking facility that spans beneath both blocks. The development can take advantage of the ebb and flow of the available parking in the Hassalo on Eighth development to the north, with 1,200 stalls. The floor plates being proposed are large, with 11-foot high finished ceilings and glass lines, and the concrete structural system provides long span support reducing columns. The combination of large floor plates and the high floor-to-floor height allows deep daylighting solutions while also allowing more significant space planning flexibility. Future stair connections can be provided through proposed block-outs to allow spatial and physical connectivity between floors. The concrete frame solution provides flat ceilings broken up with 30" deep beams. Accommodations are made to both float ceiling clouds and provide mechanical and fire protection distribution within the bays of the one-way structural frame. The East Block's top level is set back to give a continuous elevated terrace facing the river, downtown, and the west hills beyond. The other floors are provided with outdoor space as well. Additionally, both buildings propose a roof deck amenity to offer outdoor opportunities for work, play, and entertainment. It is envisioned that this development would expand on the already LEED Platinum neighborhood development (the first of its kind under version four of the certification) and continue to leverage the surrounding retail, housing, and the multi-modal transportation opportunities already on site. The nexus of streetcar and MAX lines happens at the intersection of NE Holladay and NE 7th, one block NW of the proposed building. In addition, construction is underway for the new Earl Blumenauer bridge, which will provide bike and pedestrian crossing over Sullivan's Gulch making the route north/south on the east side of the river more convenient for commuters.
