Avatron Goes Big, Pink That Is

Posted in commercial real estate, headquarters, lease, LEED, new office, office brokerage, office space, oregon, portland, rental rate, square feet, start up, sublease, Trends, Vacancies, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Local iPhone app developer Avatron Software has made the leap across the river and up the elevator to the 41st floor of  the US Bancorp Tower, more commonly referred to in Portland as “Big Pink”.  The company made the move from Vancouver in January 2010.  They have outstanding views from their new offices and some space to accommodate a few extra employees.  Of course, while I was there, everyone was staring out the windows but I’m assured they haven’t suffered any productivity decrease :)

 Avatron took advantage of the current market sluggishness and got a great sublease rate on this premium space. They even had some of the furniture tossed into the deal.

 So, next time you’re visiting the SAO offices on the ground floor, take a quick ride up to the 41st floor and welcome Dave (@dshowell) and the rest of the gang at Avatron (@Avatron) to the city of Portland.

Office Space Stats: 

  • 3,445 RSF
  • Conference room
  • Reception area
  • 6 Private offices
  • Kitchen
  • Server room
  • Storage room
  • Open space for up to 4 people

After a little hiatus from blogging, I have two weeks worth of transactions compiled below. As you can see, two weeks over the holidays doesn’t amount to much this past year, but activity levels are increasing as a number of businesses begin searching for office space alternatives in January 2010.

In other commercial real estate related updates: Two companies with offices in Oregon announced layoffs and/or closures of their operations. Means Nursery, located in Scappoose, is laying off roughly 100 employees effective mid February 2010 while Blackwell North America (aka Baker & Taylor Inc) will be closing their Lake Oswego office on Jean Rd. and  saying goodbye to 50 employees. Another interesting decision of note comes from Stericycle Inc. who is laying off 29 employees in Boynton Beach, FL. This is the parent company of Pearl District-based Academic Network.
