Site Selection and Real Estate

Site Selection and Real Estate Assistance

In addition to a large community of private brokers and related real estate services, the City of Portland and partners offer a variety of real estate and construction services. These include site selection assistance, brownfield remediation, and development and permitting assistance. Portland city staff can prepare individual site selection studies which provide a detailed description and analysis of the area, and address issues and concerns specific to a company. Area-wide technical briefings and tours of potential sites and buildings are also available. The city maintains a database of current business statistics that can help improve your knowledge of the Portland region and address a company’s business plan/market assessment needs, covering such topics as:

• Economic diversity
• Transportation systems
• Population and income
• Labor force and employment
• Business, land and building costs
• Tax structure
• Health and education facilities
• Climate and livability

Portland takes every opportunity to showcase why the city is a great place to expand or set up shop. City staff partner with private sector business leaders and organizations, and utilize regional and statewide marketing strategies to help the city of Portland achieve its economic goals and welcome expanding and new business to the city.
