The construction of its headquarters was no different. The award-winning LEED Platinum ground-up construction of the 20,000 square-foot headquarters stands on the site of a former towing yard in the historic Black neighborhood of Albina. The project’s development was rooted in environmental sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Construction boasted 47% Minority- or Women-Owned Business (MSB-WSB) participation and serves as a national model for responsible and equitable development.
