Who’s On the Move – Week Ending 4/10/09

BACK TO THE DRAWING TABLE FOR PARK AVENUE WEST

The big news late last week was the announcement of the halt on construction for the Park Avenue West Office Tower located across from the downtown Nordstroms. While this news was not entirely unexpected in the commercial real estate community (we have been concerned about financing for months now) it was still a major blow to the positive energy supporting Portland’s steady office market. 

The next question will be whether major law firm and anchor tenant Stoel Rives will remain with the project or pull the trigger on an option to back out of their commitment to lease nearly 160,000 SF in the building. Nike has also committed their new store location to this project and could reconsider as well (perhaps the new Zell space in Pacific Center would be a good alternative?). 

Regardless, it is clear that the developer, TMT, will be removing any reference to “condominium” in the redesign of this project (which will take the building from 32 stories to around 22-25), as that word has become the perverbial “black cloud” in real estate and no doubt a hinderance in securing further financing.
