Ah, Portland development. Whether you shudder or applaud every time a new building, business, or tram appears on our city’s landscape, there’s no question that development is on the rise. One such project on the horizon is the bside6 building to go up on E Burnside and 6th, where for years there has been only an empty lot. Sponsor OFFICE PDX is co-sponsoring, along with the bside6 team, a preview party for the building, on October 9, at Rontoms. It will feature complimentary cocktails, giveaways from the OFFICE store, art/design guests such as PICA, and… a Q and A about the new mixed-use building, set to begin its 10-month construction in September, as well as a chance to see the renderings, meet the team, and hear the vision. The event is free and open to the public, but you need to rsvp with Lance Marrs: info@bside6.com
