Portland is undergoing a massive boom. Over 20 projects worth well over a billion $$$ are under construction today.
One of two main district being built is the South Waterfront district, that currently has 3 occupied towers, one almost completed, and two under construction with several more planned.
also home to the Portland Aerial Tram connecting OHSU (Oregon's medical school) to their new campus in the district.
The other district is Portland's Pearl, a former warehouse district that has been converted to the hotest property in Portland. From the Pearl, America's first modern streetcar line rose.
