Good point. Portage Place used to be on the fringes somewhat of the local office market, but with all the action in the SHED and neighbouring properties like Newport Center starting to improve to take advantage of that dynamic, maybe Portage Place's time will come. That said, Portage Place is not really an address soaked in prestige, so it could be a tough sell for anything beyond lower grade uses.
Are there any other unbuilt pad sites with foundations in place left downtown besides Portage Place?
