We recently returned from a quick weekend in Portland, where we’re constantly amazed at the mindfulness and sophistication in the built environment. The level of multi-family and mixed-use urban housing is extraordinary in Portland -how is Portland getting developers to step it up and fund such high quality, design-forward projects? We’ve got crazy respect for the city of roses and we had a smashing time running around the city checking out new venues. A huge thanks to everyone that gave us recommendations from our last TML Portland post. Here’s the new scoop, as always, let us know what we missed. Many more on The Modern List Portland.
