Goat Blocks

Versatile Urban Living

Goat Blocks is a vibrant, multi-block, mixed-use development that breathes new life into Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial District (CEID), once home to a herd of friendly neighborhood goats. Positioned between a historic residential neighborhood and a transforming industrial area, Goat Blocks is now the area’s social hub, connecting the industrial past with a creative future. The development features three industrial-inspired buildings, combining a range of shops, restaurants, a cider taproom, a grocery store, and apartments. Pedestrian alleyways invite the neighborhood in, while apartment balconies and a rooftop lounge encourage residents to step out and enjoy the lively environment. Since its completion, Goat Blocks has become a hot spot for innovation, creative industries, and entrepreneurship, catering to a diverse community that thrives on variety, independence, and convenience. Designed with the neighborhood’s context and residents’ priorities in mind, the interiors are tailored to foster personalization and creativity. Kitchens feature open shelving for residents to curate their belongings, while "shotgun" layouts maximize space and natural light. Maker-style closets further enhance the sense of customization and individual expression. Salvaged reclaimed wood from the former warehouse connects Goat Blocks to its history. Massive beams, rafters, and roof decking have been repurposed throughout the site, from townhome stairs to shelving in studio units, and as design elements in the lobby and community lounge. The community enjoys shared spaces like a cozy lounge on rainy days and a rooftop BBQ area with sweeping views of the thriving district below. Goat Blocks is where Portland’s eclectic culture, creativity, and community converge.
