The Oregon Pacific Building, a vintage gem in downtown Portland, was built in 1896. It was remodeled into a department store in the 1940s and has been vacant since 2010. BSA is responsible for the building’s modern upgrades, including a seismic upgrade, a green roof, and rooftop solar. Occupancy is targeted for mid-2025.

A few teaser shots from as we finish up the interior portion of the project! We don't want to give anything away just yet, but just know that this building is jam packed with surprises, cool design details, and lots of reminders of the building's bank history (complete with an actual bank heist that occurred several decades ago!). The food cart pod is open now, with the interior renovation set to finish soon!

Brett hosted some UO architecture students for a talk about the profession and a walking tour of a handful of local projects along Sandy Blvd we completed with our longtime friend, Kevin Cavenaugh of Guerrilla Development. The Atomic Orchard Project, when completed, will have 49 units, 40% of which will be affordable. Other projects toured were Han Oak, The Ocean, New New Crusher Court, and The Zipper.

Our Atomic Garage project is getting a lot of press! This adaptive reuse building, formally Atomic Auto, is one of many former service stations commonly built along Sandy Blvd, which now includes 11 maker-space tenant offices. Our interior photographs feature the craft store Felt Paper Scissors by Lia Griffith, and congratulations to Astral at Duality Brewing for being awarded Eater’s top 12 best new restaurants in the country and best chef residency or pop-up in Portland.

Construction Update: Our project the is almost complete! Together with and Bachelor General Contractor , we renovated an old masonry and heavy timber building into creative office space and retail storefronts along Sandy Boulevard in the neighborhood of Inner NE Portland.

We removed a large central portion of the roof of the existing building, which was an old auto repair garage. This creates a shared courtyard open to the sky for all of the new tenants. We preserved the existing heavy timber beams in the courtyard as a nod to the original configuration of the building. Each tenant in the interior of the building will have a 12' overhead door opening onto the courtyard, which will be fully landscaped in the coming months. The removed roof sheathing was then re-used as siding on the new walls facing the courtyard.

We are closing in on finishing this amazing project off in the coming weeks, as we continue to improve Sandy Boulevard block by block! Along with , and , will help bring new pedestrian street life and economic vitality to the neighborhood as we re-invest in this wonderful old building through .

We have some great new shots of our project Providore Fine Foods located at NE 24th Ave and Sandy Blvd! This was an existing masonry and heavy timber building which we carefully renovated into a food hall and restaurant (stay tuned for more news on the restaurant tenant!). After in-depth market research, the Project Architect for the building considers their Arrosto chicken the best rotisserie in the city, and the sandwiches here have made Providore one of our top lunch choices. They also have great food from Pastaworks, Rubinette Produce Market, Little T American Baker and Flying Fish Oyster Bar.

Take a look below and make sure to stop by the store if you're in the neighborhood. This was all part of , another successful (and very fun) team effort with and Bachelor General Contractor
