A former warehouse adjacent to the Hawthorne Bridge has been transformed to bring new life to the central eastside industrial area. RiverEast Center will bring over 250 jobs to the neighborhood and provide the City long awaited, improved public access to the East Bank esplanade. The innovative public plaza includes the first shared “green street” in Portland to treat stormwater from both public and private runoff sources, as well as a public art installation from reclaimed building façade elements. RiverEast Center is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification.

RiversEast LLC, formed between Jeff Reaves, president of Group Mackenzie and Jay Haladay, Chief Executive Officer of Portland-based software development company Coaxis, developed the property as new, expanded headquarters for their respective companies.
