Of the top 25 office property portfolio owners in the U.S., 9 of them have holdings in the Portland/Vancouver area. Shorenstein Properties is the largest holder in Portland with properties including Congress Center, most of Kruse Way, and First and Main (the building under construction and located at the westside Hawthorne bridgehead). Our market has often been considered a stable investment, with less exposure to extreme swings and, thus, a good market to place investments during erratic times, high or low.

Much of the commercial property in Portland/Vancouver is owned by local/regional players who are not looking to compete with large, national REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). Some of the larger local owners are American Property Management (2+ million SF), Bill Naito Company (1+ million SF), Harsch Investment Properties (1.5+ million SF) and Gramor Development (1.7 million SF). These owners are often family-based businesses with a long history of real estate development in the region.
