Nova

One of the first large-scale mass-timber buildings in Portland, Nova at the Electric Blocks has always been ahead of the curve. Built to incorporate the graffiti-covered remnants of the old burned-down Taylor Electric warehouse, this modern building is filled with light, art, and inspired businesses working to change the world, and the neighborhood, for the better.

Nova was the tallest heavy timber building in town, right up until everyone else realized how awesome heavy timber buildings are. We’re happy to lead when it leads to more sustainable, ethical buildings.

LEED Gold standard

15-foot ceilings
