Activity has definitely picked up post Labor Day, with many firms looking to upgrade their space now that rates are the lowest they’ve been in at least 3 years. The larger tenants are continuing to renew, such as Wells Fargo, but a few are making moves to newer space. McCormick & Schmick’s will be vacating the Morgan Building (720 SW Washington) for a brand new project in the Pearl District called Machine Works. This building has a more industrial look and feel to it, as opposed to the historic architecture of the Morgan Building, reflecting a change in company culture for the restaurant operator.
