The Portland Building, alternatively referenced as the Portland Municipal Services Building, is a 15-story municipal office building located at 1120 SW 5th Avenue in downtown Portland, Oregon. Built at a cost of US$29 million, it opened in 1982 and was considered architecturally groundbreaking at the time.[7][8]
The building houses offices of the City of Portland and is located adjacent to Portland City Hall. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[6] An extensive reconstruction of the building began in December 2017[9] and was completed in 2020.[10] The building was temporarily closed for that work, and the closure was extended by the COVID-19 pandemic.
