Oregon, the nation’s 27th-largest state, had the best performing economy in the nation based on employment, home prices, personal income, tax revenue, mortgage delinquency and publicly traded equity of its companies during the first three quarters of 2015, according to Bloomberg. CNNMoney named the state’s largest city, Portland, one of the most innovative cities in the U.S. for being ahead of the curve in terms of urban planning. It was one of the first to build a light rail, instead of a highway, in 1986, and continues to invest in expansion of the light rail network.
The pace of improvement in Portland’s labor market continues to be full throttle. In fact, the gains in 2015 were the best in the past two decades. This growth largely comes from the area’s underlying fundamentals like its industrial structure and strong in-migration flows.
KGIP currently manages 4.9 million square feet of office, industrial and retail properties in the Portland market.
