Sturgeon Development Partners is reshaping Oregon’s real estate landscape with a focus on innovative, sustainable spaces that foster vibrant communities. With a diverse portfolio spanning mixed-use, residential, and commercial developments, the company has built a reputation for transforming underutilized properties into community-centered spaces.
A prime example of this is the redevelopment of the Premier Gear and Machine Works Building in Portland’s Slabtown district. Acquired in 2017, the 68,646-square-foot industrial site was converted into Class A office space, enhancing the area’s commercial appeal. Sturgeon also demonstrates its commitment to sustainability through the Flatworks Building, one of the tallest cross-laminated timber structures in the western United States.
This eight-story, 130,000-square-foot office building on Southeast Grand Avenue incorporates energy-efficient features and green building practices, reflecting the company’s focus on long-term value.
Sturgeon’s approach goes beyond development, emphasizing community engagement. The company proposed transforming the Premier Gear Building into a mental health crisis center with housing, underscoring its dedication to addressing local challenges. Sturgeon’s inclusive approach ensures that each project reflects the needs of residents, making it a leading force in creating positive change.
Through thoughtful development and sustainable practices, Sturgeon Development Partners is making a lasting impact on neighborhoods and communities across Oregon.
