  New Owner

  11-01-25

  The Food Front building is now owned by Mark New of Development Company of the West.
  

  It is so refreshing to see the hive of activity in the parking lot as Mark and Rachel's team is bringing the building back to life and ready to let. They are looking for either one main tenant, or two with a smaller store or restaurant space where the deli and meat counters used to be. This is a unique opportunity to join a thriving hub of restaurants, independent stores, and coffee shops in one of Portland's most walkable communities. And a bus stop is virtually outside the store!

  If you are interested in talking to Mark and taking a tour of the building, please email him at read more
