California-based climbing gym company Planet Granite is building gym on a half-block lot at Northwest 14^th Avenue and Pettygrove Street in the Pearl District. Centrex Construction is serving as the general contractor on the shell of the building, while Planet Granite is simultaneously doing the tenant improvement work. The facility’s large climbing walls were designed and are being installed by Walltopia, a Bulgarian company that specializes in such work.

The 32,000-square-foot building will feature two yoga studios, weight and cardio space in addition to bouldering and climbing walls, the largest of which is nearly 60 feet high. The Fosler Portland Architecture-designed project is slated for completion in late summer.
