Montgomery Park Master Plan
The Master Plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to holistically re-imagine Montgomery Park District’s future.
Montgomery Park District is located on the northwest edge of what is known as the Northwest District of Portland surrounded by residential neighborhoods to the south, industrial park to the north, and Forest Park to the west. Due to local height restrictions in the area the Montgomery Park building and sign soar over adjacent buildings and act as an ionic beacon for the district and wayfinding monument in the city. With current growth and development pressures pushing towards the northwest the district has a unique opportunity to establish a destination as a melting pot where city, industry, and park combine to provide a place for living, outdoor culture, commerce, business, food and beverage, events, wellness, fitness and access to open space.
This transformation of the district into a walkable and compact urban development for residents and visitors will distinguish itself from many other successful districts in Portland. The district will evolve beyond its current office identity by renovating its existing historical Montgomery Park and American Can Complex buildings and infusing vertical development, pedestrian connections, active open spaces, additional mix of uses.
