Burnside is Portland, Oregon’s iconic thoroughfare connecting the east and west sides of the city. With the east end rapidly growing, 5MLK brings a 17-story 200’ tall building with retail and office space, residential apartments, and underground parking to a burgeoning community. PLACE’s cascading series of terraces was designed to represent the Pacific Northwest’s landscape: hanging meadows; NW woodland; riparian forest: and wetlands & rivers. With a focus on sustainability, 5MLK is certified for LEED Gold, Salmon Safe, and the first mixed-use building in the US with a Fitwel certification.
