He told me I ruined the community for repotting the issue. He told me he did an investigation & that what I said wasn't true but never looked at my proof & never provided proof of investigating the situation. There is more. I have never reported inappropriate touching before by two people & then asked in text to hug that person who I reported touched me inappropriately. In my opinion if you value your safety, don't sign up for a membership, there.

Mark heard my call for help through the social grapevine, and invited me to use the NedSpace space--and, wow! Coziest media room with couches, tables, dimmable floor lamps and a projector + screen that could easily accommodate ~20, a board-room with gorgeous views of downtown from the 11th floor & an intuitive projector (monitor on the wall) setup, a small kitchen, and a little bar nook for hiding extra goodies. Fast internet. Miss Piggy and smilley-face mugs in the community kitchen. The regular folks renting who were there over the weekend, were so nice and accommodating, too. Just a very warm, cozy spot, downtown, welcoming at the last minute, clean, intentionally fun w/o the pretentious "disruptive innovation center!" vibe, but still setup to facilitate people getting work done and small events. Lots of conference rooms & workshopping areas. Definitely gonna be coming back here, more often! Oh, also? There's a garage in the building, so toting all my event stuff in and out, was a breeze. No other humans to coordinate with on the day-of, too--the building's security system is setup, such that a manager issues a temporary access code for the elevator, I usher everyone in and out (which for the size of my event was not a problem), and I packed-up after a post-event dinner break across the street.

Lots of electrical outlets that are intelligently placed on top of the tables, and the wifi was reliable. Kitchen was stocked with the usual coworking amenities. That is, water, coffee, basic tea, and some basic snacks. The day I was there, it was Kind bars and bananas. There are more snacks and drinks in a vending machine in the kitchen and for sale at the reception desk, including gigantic bars of chocolate(!) which are produced by one of the occupants. There's a frig to store things. Some minor issues to note: Tea service is very basic. I only saw one "telephone booth", though it doesn't seem too bad if you have a conversation out in the open area. The space was rather chilly and I had to put on my jacket and scarf. I recommend bringing layers. Lastly, the chairs in the general areas were not adjustable and didn't provide good lumbar support. An example of beauty over function here. I wish the interior designer/manager opted for more ergonomic chairs, as occupants are often there all day long. Overall, this space was great! Bathrooms: Clean and functional, and lovely.

I've been to several of the co-working spaces in Portland, and I expected to really enjoy this one…read more I've definitely enjoyed the CENTRL space in the Pearl. And this is a nice new modern building, in a great part of downtown. But, I just wasn't impressed. Despite having a day pass option on their website, they didn't seem very setup to handle day-pass visitors. The receptionist sort of seemed surprised I was there, and didn't really show me around or anything. The hot desk area is in the center of all of the offices, and it wasn't very conducive to work. The chairs weren't very comfortable. And the lighting was really dark -- there wasn't really any natural light (because the offices had all the windows), and they didn't make up for it with the lighting choices. Considering CENTRL's day prices are also on the higher end of the other competitive co-working spaces (e.g. WeWork and some of the other local players), I just can't see myself coming back here unless I was in this particular neighborhood. I have enjoyed other CENTRL office locations, however, so I am optimistic they could improve their lighting and chairs over time, which would make me re-consider my review.

Staff gave me a quick tour of the space on the 10th floor and told me about the features. They also have the 9th and 11th floors. The decor is much nicer and has more of a vibe than a Regus, but isn't as cool as Kiln's. The Internet Wi-Fi was a symmetrical 30/30 Mbps, which is much slower than Kiln's 320, but plenty usable. The extended lobby where the hotdesk folks sit has numerous chairs and tables, the kitchen, morning and afternoon snacks, and loud music, which together don't make for the most hospitable working environment. There are two big windows overlooking Pioneer Courthouse Square, but the shades are drawn. There are just a couple telephone booths, and one quiet booth, on the 10th floor. Hotdesk membership is $400/mo, plus another $100/mo for national access. I greatly prefer Kiln: cheaper, better vibe, many more spaces to hang out, more features, outdoor patio, faster Internet, less noise, free parking, and equally nice staff.

Having lived in several tech hub cities, the co-working spaces I'm used to tend to have a high-tech focus with minimal decor. openHAUS wasn't like that at all but I really appreciated the difference. There's a lot of interesting art dotted throughout and it's got a lived-in feel with many in-progress projects out in the open. There are desks claimed and occupied by the stuff of regulars, but besides that you get your choice of a place to settle for the day. There's clean bathrooms nearby and a kitchen stocked with coffee and tea, and even ramen if you really didn't want to step out for food. I heard there was a dedicated parking lot though it wasn't obvious, but street parking was easy enough. I'm glad I tried this place and would come back. I was able to take calls and attend work meetings just fine out of here, and I was able to pop out for lunch and come back without worrying about my stuff getting touched. Finally, I was also a little surprised that someone came with their dog, a big boxer looking one, but it was generally well behaved and didn't come around again after getting to sniff me in the butt.

At lunch time it sounds like a junior high cafeteria. Building management allows things to be stored outside of an outward opening door, blocking the route to a fire exit. Very unsafe. This was shown to management in 2025, but it's still happening in 2026.

Kiln has a parking lot and the rest of the block is a building. It is a beautiful architectural remodel with more variety of spaces than other coworking spots. They host events, so keep an eye out for those. They have group spaces, with a high atrium in the core of the buiding. They have dedicated offices. There are small voice call booths. There is a meeting room with a screen and chairs which can be arranged. The staff is present and helpful. They are between two food cart pods, so you will not starve. Kiln is in a great location.

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.
