Everett Station Lofts

The Everett Station Lofts is a building in Portland, Oregon, United States. In 1989, three adjacent buildings in Portland, Oregon's Old Town Chinatown neighborhood (bordering the Pearl District) were renovated and converted into the lofts, a 62,000-square-foot cluster of 47 live/work units combining studios and loft condominiums. Everett Station's spaces feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, third-floor balconies and a second-floor courtyard shared by all residents.

Everett Station Lofts supports the local art scene by reserving sixteen storefront units for artists who agree to open their studios to the public during regular business hours and during at least nine "First Thursday" evenings each year.

The lofts offer somewhat affordable exhibition space on the edge of the increasingly gentrified Pearl District and have been a key player in the art scene's surge in activity.
