T
he PacWest Tower at 1211 SW Fifth Ave. will rise over downtown Portland on Oct. 31, 2025. Jonathan Bach of The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the building was sold this week to an Alaska‑based buyer, reflecting a continued downward adjustment in downtown property values that will affect local tax revenue. Multnomah County logged the transaction Thursday, but the price was omitted; Willamette Week cites a $55.7 million sale. The filing shows a $44.5 million mortgage secured with First National Bank Alaska.
