We're kicking off Fall term with an in-person tour of PAE's Living Building, designed to be the first fully certified Living Building in Portland and the largest commercial Living Building in the world. Envisioned to last for 500 years, the approach marries the look and feel of a historic neighborhood with the highest possible energy performance and sustainability standards.
Join PSU Center for Real Estate faculty + staff along with one of Portland's leading sustainability-focused developers, Edlen and Co., for a tour of this mixed-use project. Tour guides include PSU real estate alumnae Carly Harrison and Jill Sherman, both with Edlen and Co., and members of the development & architectural teams (PAE + ZGF).
The tour is open only to PSU MRED students, which includes the fall MRED student cohort. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to get to know your fellow MRED students while getting a first peek at an inspiring and very unique Portland project!
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Located at SW First and Pine in the heart of the city’s historic Skidmore/Old Town District, the mixed-use PAE Living Building is designed to be the first fully certified Living Building in Portland and the largest commercial Living Building in the world. The PAE Living Building tells the story of Portland: aspirational, progressive, and yet deeply rooted in Pacific Northwest history.
Designed to last for 500 years, the approach marries the look and feel of a historic neighborhood with the highest possible energy performance and sustainability standards. Inside, healthy materials meet ILFI’s Red List requirements, ample daylight, views, operable windows, and other biophilic strategies support to occupant health, comfort, and productivity. The building is set to help achieve Portland’s 2050 renewable energy target of 100 percent renewable energy 30 years ahead of schedule. Notably, all of the building’s water and energy needs will be produced via rainwater capture, and onsite and offsite solar arrays.
COVID POLICIES + OTHER DETAILS:
Proof of vaccination + masks required.
This tour is for PSU real estate students currently enrolled in Fall classes.
