Approval from the Portland Design Commission completes a three-and-one-half month review process, and also concludes the discretionary public review process. In October, Two Main won approval from a city hearings officer for its required Central City Parking Review.

"We are very pleased that the design review decision was unanimous from the commission," said Chris Nelson, managing director of Trammell Crow Company's Portland office. "This is a significant milestone in Two Main's timeline, and in the timeline of downtown development in the next 18-24 months."

Two Main's design was created by Callison Architecture, Inc., an award-winning design firm with clients including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Nordstrom and Boeing. "With Two Main, Trammell Crow Company challenged us to design a structure that is unique to the Portland skyline, that will match the importance of the piece of property it will occupy, and that will offer tenants an environment unlike any other in Portland," says Mark Ludtka, principal in charge at Callison.
