Press Blocks, Mixed-use development in Goose Hollow, Portland, United States
Press Blocks is a mixed-use development in Goose Hollow comprising three buildings with residential units, creative offices, and retail spaces. The project includes a public plaza and connects different functions across its property.
The development sits on the former site of The Oregonian newspaper's printing press facility. This shift from industrial use to modern urban space shaped the character of this location.
The buildings use materials like brick, stucco, cement, and steel that reference the site's printing and paper history. This design language connects the place's past with its current role as a mixed-use neighborhood.
A nearby light rail station provides easy public transit access to downtown Portland. Pedestrians can navigate between different areas and the surrounding neighborhood through connected pathways.
A pedestrian connector cuts through the middle of the property to link living and working spaces with surrounding streets. This hidden pathway allows visitors to move through different zones without backtracking.
