The Press Blocks (Oregonian Publishing Buildings) | 250' | 23 floors | U/C











-------------------------

Original Post:

The Oregonian is going to outsource its printing and sell its facilities in Goose Hollow. This is clearly a blow for those who work there, but hardly one that wasn't widely predicted.

The reason I'm posting it here is that it's not often that entire blocks in the central city come up for sale, particularly with such intense zoning. The allowable base height is 250' and the FAR 6:1. They could likely receive bonuses to 325' height / 9:1 FAR. By way of comparison the Cosmopolitan is 341' / 9:1.
