Asylum · Property For Lease

Named to honor Dr. James Hawthorne, who operated the Portland Asylum in the 19th century near the adjacent boulevard eventually named for him, The Asylum also references the term used for welcoming and offering sanctuary to those in need of it. The building is located in the heart of the eclectic Hawthorne District at SE 19th Ave, and is a short walk to some of Portland's best restaurants, cafes, bookstores, brew-pubs, distilleries, craftspeople, and all services from banks to massage therapists, and just over a mile from downtown via bike, walking, or frequent bus service. The exterior of the building is unlike any of the giant boxes popping up throughout the city: rusted metal siding blends with painted stucco panels and black, burned Japanese Shou Sugi Bon wood to create a signature look visible to anyone traveling Hawthorne Boulevard. The building sits between the vibrant commercial sector of Hawthorne and leafy side streets full of residential architectural masterpieces from the past 120 years. Two small offices are currently available - The 180 square foot office is on the quiet north side of the building and is behind a secure gate. The storefront office is 245 square foot and is on SE 19th Ave just a few steps from SE Hawthorne Ave. Both of these offices are on the ground floor and provide a unique work space for artists, entrepreneurs, therapists, and sole-proprietors in our neighborhood. The 180 square foot office is $495, and 245 square foot office is $695. We are a team of small local developers who manage the building ourselves. We are hands-on, responsive managers looking for responsible non-smoking tenants who will appreciate the care and expense we put into developing one of the best new buildings created in Portland in many years.
