There are two interconnected buildings, one built in 1920 and the other in 1972. Office space and light manufacturing are potential uses. ADX and Portland Made Collective partnered in their opening party, which featured local artisan food and drink. There was an acoustic band including an upright piano with a built in video screen controlled by the keyboard designed by deaf artists to bring a visual experience of music to deaf people http://www.cymaspace.org/technology/. With manufacturing being displaced from the Central East Side, this is a welcome addition. And if your maker business scales up, this is a place to consider. It is part of the Portland Made http://www.portlandmade.com/the-industrial-grange/ Industrial Grange program. As Sun Ra says, "space is the place." The Iron Fireman Collective is a new raw flex office and manufacturing space.

My brother, myself, and our cousin in Wyoming keep track of places here in Portland where my…read moremother's family lived after moving here from Mammoth, Utah in 1940. Utah had absolutely no work available at the time and was still deep in the Depression. They followed my grandmother's two younger brothers to work in the Kaiser Shipyards (the prepping for WWII was going on even though war had not been declared) and it saved them. They picked fruit for ten cents a basket as they drove to Portland. Talk about modern-day pioneers! Grandpa, grandma, my ten-year-old mother, and, her four-year-old brother coming across country based on faith that good things would happen. It is here at the now renovated Iron Fireman CollectIvee that my Grandpa got a badly-needed job as a machinist. For some reason, I can't save this as a draft. Ron and I plan to visit soon to get a look at the building, take pictures, and finish the review.

This is a sweet building. From the design-forward architectural remodel and layout to the…read moregreen-conscious setup, everything about this historic building screams Portland. Home to office spaces, a brewery (Upright), the Leftbank Cafe, a shared office space (the Hive) and a communal area, the winding, maze-like structure is home to a colony of progressive workers, projects, and all sorts of stuff. I've been in here quite a few times to meet with folks, I've stopped in to the cafe, and I threw an event in the communal space, and I love the brewery downstairs. While parking can be a bit of an issue when an event is taking place, it's got a great central location and, at least for me, the historic and design-forward remodel aspects are close to my heart. Dig this space.

Cool old building, Brewery in the basement. What's not to love?…read more The Leftbank building is great, well actually it's three building put together but who's counting. It's kind of a rabbits warren of small companies connected by large communal spaces and even better natural light flooding in everywhere. The main Lobby/cafe room looking out on the street was interestingly complex but simply informal enough to be comfortable. Went here to check out Upright Brewing (http://www.yelp.com/biz/upright-brewing-portland#hrid:EonPV60YZaVQfVTk-p76Jw) but found myself wandering around the building checking out all the cool spaces. It was awesome! Leftbank Project is kind of the little brother to some of the other big Inner Eastside commercial renovations like Eastbank, Olympic Mills, and RiverEast.

The dream, I think we can all agree. CNTRL's East Side facilities were immaculate and everyone's covid manners - staff and fellow visitors alike - were excellent. Actually everyone's anything manners were excellent period, except maybe mine, because I showed up to an understaffed building (hello, ice storm, that'll happen) and had a tantrum over the "closed" sign accidentally left on the door. Extra thanks to manager Tami for graciously tolerating and soothing me.

Probably five stars if you get the dedicated office spaces; for general members and day pass goers,…read moreI would give it 3.5 stars. Giving five stars overall, since most of the space is dedicated office spaces. Day passes: $35 for the day, $25 for half-day Very nice space, with the usual co-working amenities (free coffee, tea, water, wifi), numerous power outlets, and modern interior decor with some nice unique touches, like fresh flower bouquets on some tables, an abundance of natural light everywhere, and a coffee station on the first floor even though the kitchen is on the second floor. The general area is not as large as their Pearl District location. There's two kitchens, with refrigerators for use by everyone to store things. There's indoor bicycle storage(!) which is available to day pass users as well. If you get one of the dedicated office spaces on the second or third floor, the views are quite lovely. The only issues that makes this 3.5 stars for general members and day pass users involve the fishbowl effect of the space and the ergonomics of the chairs. Most of the open areas for general members/day pass users are very visible to the outside, with floor-to-ceiling windows. There's a somewhat more secluded space in the back with space for maybe eight people. This would make me nervous if I were doing work that was more private or if I was worried about leaving my stuff in the open to go to the bathroom, etc., the front door is unlocked and opens directly into the general member areas. Granted, the front desk person is there most of the time, but it's still a bit concerning for me. The second thing is for my back--the chairs in the general member/day pass areas are not ergonomic/adjustable office chairs, so it becomes difficult to work all day in them. In the very least, something adjustable height and even a lumbar pillow I can borrow from the front desk would be lovely. I was here briefly during their first week in operation, so there are some very minor glitches here and there, like not having those black little stirring things for tea/coffee, only half-and-half as the dairy option for your coffee/tea, and so on, but nothing that seems like an issue that will persist as they refine their space. Bathrooms: Clean, modern design, very functional, quite lovely, overall.

WeWork is great, so welcoming and a general comfortable space. I love the occasional community gatherings that are optional to participate in and give a great community vibe. It is really bright and clean, I definitely recommend working from here if you can! They also have fun team-building events and events to take a break from work. And, have good food and snacks available. IT was a special treat getting to schedule to go there the same day with my co-worker, and be able to work together collaboratively on different work projects. And, then getting to take a break from work and play ping-pong was also fun! I like the Holliday location, there are some good food cart options and quick options to grab lunch near by. Otherwise, the kitchen is really well set up with a fridge and microwave (and extra place settings) if you want to make your lunch!
