## FAQ
### Is Downtown Portland recoverable?
Recovery will be gradual. Significant adaptive reuse and conversion is in early stages, but absorption recovery is unlikely before 2027.

The Pearl District is Portland's principal creative-class trophy submarket — tech, advertising, design firms in repositioned warehouse and post-2010 mid-rise Class A.

Yes. 16+ months free with $100-$130/sqft TI is now typical on 10-year deals — among the richest US concession environments.
