The Central Eastside Industrial District is a growing hub of innovation in the heart of Portland. Lorentz Bruun Construction is working on the Eastside Innovation Lab, a new project looking to attract and cultivate talent, entrepreneurs, and investment aimed at catalyzing collaboration and propelling regional economic development. The Eastside Innovation Hub fulfills a drastically under-served market for wet biotech lab incubator space in the metro area, serving emerging health sciences and technology industries. This adaptive reuse project will transform a two-story, concrete and wood-frame warehouse into 18,000 square feet of private, biotech-focused research wet laboratory space, along with a new penthouse for creative offices. This project will feature a sustainable design including high-efficiency mechanical/electrical systems, and an eco-roof to help control building temperature while preventing excess storm-water runoff.
