Developed on land once home to a herd of friendly goats, Goat Blocks is a dynamic, multi-block mixed-use project that connects Portland’s industrial past with its creative future. Located between a historic residential neighborhood and a transitioning industrial area, it has quickly become the social hub of Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial District (CEID).
The development features three industrial-inspired buildings, combining shops, restaurants, a cider taproom, a grocery store, and apartments. Pedestrian alleyways draw the neighborhood in, while balconies and a rooftop lounge draw residents out. Goat Blocks has become a hot spot for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship, with each building reflecting Portland’s eclectic character—blending rustic brick, steel, and artistic European design.
Offering a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and townhomes, the development includes efficient kitchens with salvaged materials, custom steel screens on balconies, and flexible outdoor spaces. Residents enjoy a community lounge and a rooftop space perfect for summer BBQs.
Goat Blocks also caters to businesses, from small shops to larger spaces (200 to 100,000 square feet), creating a vibrant live, work, shop destination. Pedestrian-friendly alleyways invite visitors for a cider tasting, grocery run, or meal at a popular restaurant.
In support of Portland’s bike culture, the development includes ample bike parking and below-grade vehicle parking with one of the West Coast’s largest semi-automated parking stackers. Goat Blocks enhances the livability and walkability of the CEID, transforming it into a thriving, community-centered destination.
