    Sometimes Portland looks like a really nice Rio.

    The PDC is going to relocate and One Waterfront Place is a likely destination. If they do choose this location the construction should start soon. It's been in the works for years now.

    PSU's projected school of business building. PSU's new dorm tower(s) and this will make this area of downtown feel so much different

    Does it bother anyone else that the majority of these projects posted in this thread seem to be publicly driven? Man, I'd love to see some private sector investment in our fair city.

    Well, the proposed smART tower was a project that wasn't going to be publicly funded
