1000 Broadway

1000 Broadway is a 24-story office high-rise in downtown Portland topped by a distinctive domed roof and surrounded by curved architectural bands. The building features multiple floors of office space that serve as workspace for various companies operating in the city.

The building was completed in 1991, replacing the Broadway Theater, an art deco cinema that once stood on the same site. Its construction marked a shift from entertainment use to modern office development on this downtown location.

The building represents the evolution of Portland's business district, housing numerous companies that contribute to Oregon's commercial development.

The building is an established office complex with easy access from the street, allowing visitors to view the facade and distinctive roof from outside without entering. Its location in the business district means the surroundings feel active during weekday hours.

Until 2011, the building operated four movie screens, giving it a dual role as both an office and entertainment venue. This combination of commerce and cinema created an unusual hybrid space in Portland's downtown.
