Benson Tower, Residential tower in Portland, Oregon, US
The 250-foot glass and steel structure rises 26 floors above downtown Portland with 156 condominium units, including penthouses at the upper levels.
The building stands on the former residential site of Simon Benson, a timber industry leader who influenced Portland's development in the early 20th century.
The tower introduced modern Vancouver-style architecture to Portland's urban landscape through designs by IBI Group from British Columbia.
Three elevators service the building's residents across 58 single-bedroom units, 92 two-bedroom units, and 6 penthouses spanning the upper floors.
The construction process in 2007 generated discussions about labor practices in Portland as it utilized open shop methods instead of union workers.
