Zoom+ to leave Hillsboro for new Pearl District headquarters

Zoom+, the neighborhood clinic and health insurance purveyor, is moving its headquarters to Portland's Pearl District from Hillsboro.

Zoom plans to move to the nine-story Pearl West office building, at Northwest 14th Avenue and Irving Street, a block south of the REI outdoor gear store.

CEO Dave Sanders and Portland Mayor Charlie Hales are holding a “hard hat” tour for media on Friday. Details about Zoom’s plans are a bit sparse today.

The company’s announcement says the move will take the 10-year-old health care company into “the epicenter of Oregon’s innovation economy,” with the location serving as the “Base Camp for launching a new era in health services."

Very good looking building. Just to make it more "Portland" is appears that they co-located a tent for the homeless between the building and I-405.

Very chic

Yes. They relocated from their suburban offices in Vancouver, WA.

Awesome pics. Hopefully that Jack in the Box billboard doesn't last much longer....

They are also opening a retail store at the ground level of the building.

That is awesome, if there were ever a tech company I would love to work for, it would probably be them because I love their product.

Wacom tablets are the shit. I am currently softening up the powers-that-be to purchase one of the 22" or 27" Cintiq touch screens.

Fresh to Portland, Wacom offers a peek inside its new Pearl District HQ (Photos)

The North American headquarters for Japan-based Wacom has officially landed in Portland’s Pearl District.

The company, which makes digital pens and other technology used by designers, animators and creative workers, on Thursday unveiled its new space, at 1455 N.W. Irving St. The company had been located in Vancouver, Wash., since 1989.

“This is an incredibly exciting time for Wacom and our move to Portland signals another huge milestone in our 33-year history as a company,” said Aaron Atkinson, chief operating officer in a written statement.

“Getting closer to our customer base locally as well as globally is paramount to our brand strategy. The creative spirit of Portland, its growing tech sector and our rich history here in the Pacific Northwest were obviously prime factors in our decision to move here.”

Cool Spaces: Howard S. Wright builds a building and makes its own captivating spot inside

The construction company Howard S. Wright has some pretty impressive Portland buildings under its belt: the renovated Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt building, the Marshall Lofts in the Pearl District, even the U.S. Bancorp Tower.

Now, one of its most recently completed projects, the Pearl West building at 1455 N.W. Irving St., is also its new home.

HSW built Pearl West for developer BPM Real Estate Group, and rather than remain in its office in the Gregory at Northwest 10th and Glisan, the contractor moved into the fourth floor of Pearl West earlier this year. Not only is it a much larger space than what the company had been in before, but it's a much more open, bright and collaborative space for the 70 or so employees who work there.

No news on a retail tenant for the corner space. With that large south facing courtyard it would be great for restaurant.
