Located at 222 SW
Harrison Street between SW 1st and SW 4th Streets in Portland’s central
business district, Harrison Tower has a streetcar stop directly outside the
property, and a new MAX Light Rail stop two blocks away.
The
HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by director Ira
Virden and associate director Kerry Hughes.
“Harrison Tower is truly an iconic property that has helped shaped
Portland’s skyline since the 1960s,” Virden said.
“Opportunities to acquire a transit-oriented high-rise well below
replacement cost don’t come around often in Portland.
The buyer is well positioned to take advantage of the explosive
growth at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Portland State
University and the burgeoning tech sector downtown.”
