Interstate Renovation Project

    With over 300 Portland Water Bureau employees reporting to this facility each day, the Interstate Maintenance Facility provides a front door for operations, as well as a renewed civic presence in the Albina commercial district.

    The LEED Gold-certified facilities consist of a new warehouse building, an office building, and extensive site modernization. The project features a 36,000 SF essential services warehouse building that serves the Bureau’s maintenance operations and houses a 200-person training room, warehousing of maintenance materials, and shops areas. In addition, the 42,000 SF office building provides field crew and security support.
