Fine Arts Building

Finally found a place for my business and I can say this building has all the things I've been looking for. Good conditions and it has good space. I also met some friendly tenants. Dealing with the staff was great and they were very professional. Acquiring a space was a smooth process.

As a counselor, I was looking for an office space that would be a perfect fit for my work. This place was recommended by a friend and after I checked this place, I can say that it's a great building. The condition was amazing and well-built. So many great features and has a nice ambiance. One thing I liked too was the area that has great access to Tri-Met train and bus routes, and several restaurants across the street.

I am an entrepreneur in Portland and I was looking to rent commercial space with the Fine Arts Building. In asking Andrew Smith (the contact for commercial real estate for the building) about the space's accessibility I learned a lot about the viewpoints of this business and I feel that it is important that Portland knows about this commercial real estate's discriminatory orientation towards marginalized groups. I am not saying anything about the businesses that reside in this building, as I have never had contact with them, just the lessor. Here are a few snippets from our email exchange: Andrew writes: "No, we are not ADA compliant. As our building was constructed before July 1992, we are not required to have ADA restrooms. Fine Arts Building is a historic building, 112 years of age,

Possibly the rudest small minded stuck upbuildings manager in existence. If you like to be condemned and judged you should definitely rent a space here. I can't believe people like this still exsist. Speechless. Explains why half their spaces became available all at once.

Historic building that was originally a hotel, now it is small businesses such as massage therapists and counselors. No public restrooms.
