How Would You Revive Downtown? {Sponsored}
Downtown Portland is full of potential, and Pivot Property Management wants your ideas to bring it back to life. In this sponsored episode, City Cast Portland host Claudia Meza talks with Rose Anderson and Victoria Boyle from Pivot about their new contest inviting locals to dream up creative uses for five vacant downtown spaces. From historic stables near the waterfront to a 20,000-square-foot blank canvas above Broadway, these properties could become anything: art studios, pop-ups, co-working hubs, even a haunted house.
