Maybe I’m a pessimist, but it seems like the Lovejoy Square in NW will never get built in this economy. High unemployment, businesses closed, people working from home for a year, etc. The foot traffic in the Pearl is dismal. It’s depressing. Are people going to want to move to that area for a while?
Thank you for sharing, I hope once this is built people I am sure people will move in. A lot of people from Los Angeles and San Francisco are moving their tech businesses towards Portland and are looking for places to rent and buy.
