Two general contracting firms are currently working on a former Meier and Frank warehouse that will soon host offices for and . will wrap up work on the building’s core and shell in the next three to four months, and started work on the tenant improvement for Vestas’ offices in October.

鈥淭he project is going well, and the building is really transformed,鈥� said Gerding Edlen development Vice President Patrick Wilde.

project manager Keith Skille said that most of the exterior of the building is done, including the replacement of the building’s windows.

Skanska is currently pouring new sidewalks and painting, said Vestas spokesman Andrew Longteig. Meanwhile, crews from and its subcontractors are framing the walls and roughing in mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

鈥淭here are two quality contractors with a lot of work going on. There are two sets of subcontractors working in the same space,鈥� Wilde said. 鈥淚t’s just a logistical challenge鈥攏ot a big issue.鈥�

Portland’s Bureau of Development Services recently approved Vestas’ application to put signs on the historic building. The signs will go at the upper-right corners of two sides of the building and have the Vestas logo.

When work is done on the project, probably at the end of April, about 400 Vestas workers and Gerding Edlen’s Portland offices will move into the building, Longeteig said. The move is expected to happen in March or April.
