The Natural Capital Center, a former warehouse in Portland's Pearl District, was rebuilt to create a marketplace where innovative ideas for a conservation economy could take hold and flourish. Four distinct rental spaces provide flexibility and easy access from downtown Portland, making this destination ideal for a host of business, community, and social gatherings. The creative use of natural sunlight, soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams and gleaming honey-colored floors invigorate the space and help foster the free-flow of ideas and the building of relationships.

First Floor Atrium
The Atrium provides 800 square feet of flowing reception space. Rustic hard woods from the original warehouse and exciting glimpses into the retail spaces create an interesting and creative venue for art shows, markets, late night dances, holiday parties and more.

Billy Frank, Jr. Conference Center
The Billy Frank, Jr. Conference Center, a 1,800 square foot room, is the building’s main conference and event space. Materials from the original warehouse lend character to the space: a diamond steel plate surrounds the entrances and exits and steel fire doors double as sliding doors. Large windows line the Conference Center’s west wall, flooding the space with natural light and inviting visitors to peek out for a view of some of the building’s unique features: elongated garden patches known as bioswales that serve to absorb excess rainwater, and a beautiful, mottled brick remnant wall leftover from the original structure.

The Conference Center accommodates groups from ten to 180 people and can be divided into two smaller spaces – 700 square feet for more intimate meetings, or 1,100 square feet for larger groups.

Outdoor Terrace
Located on the third floor of the building, The Terrace provides stunning views of the surrounding Pearl District, an outdoor fireplace and tantalizing peeks of the eco-roof. The Terrace totals 2,240 square feet and can accommodate stand-up receptions and gatherings for up to 200 people. The Terrace is available for rent after 5PM during the week and all day Saturday and Sunday.
