Oregon National Building
Portland, Oregon
Acquired by the Schlesinger Companies in 1966, the Oregon National Building is one of Portland’s landmark structures. This 12 story building contains 90,000 square feet of office space and 8,500 square feet of retail space. Originally known as the Selling Building, this building was designed by noted architect A. E. Doyle in the Chicago Architectural Style. Completed in 1910, its glazed terra cotta facade includes a roof cornice, Venetian windows, pilasters and column-and-spandrel facings and has been a popular and attractive headquarters for many successful Oregon companies throughout its history. The building has been completely modernized, with the installation of new mechanical and HVAC systems, and the renovation of the building’s lobby. In 1991, the building was successfully placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is located on the transit mall in the heart of downtown Portland, among shops, restaurants, parking, banks, theaters and a complex of government buildings. The Oregon National Building is where Schlesinger Companies is headquartered, and is part of our investment and property management portfolios.
