The final details at Canal Plaza are coming together. The Columbian hardwood was milled in England and preassembled in modules for installation on the precast concrete bases. The benches complement the Guitar Pick Pavilion in form.

It's official. Canal Plaza is open.

The design incorporates storage, distribution and office space while facilitating intermodal rail, truck and sea transportation modalities.The city of Portland’s Department of Economic Development is currently seeking a change in the city’s land use code to permit the facility to be constructed. Construction is expected to begin in late 2017.
