Herald Square | 385 Congress St | Portland

Am I getting the sense that major signature projects around Portland are utilizing out of state architects now compared to 10-20 years ago?
Archetype, SMRT, Whitten, Ryan Senatore, CWS, Winton Scott which all have several projects around Portland but...
Portland Art Museum is using Lever for the new addition
Old Port Square is using Safdie
385 Congress (Herald Square) is using CBT
Redfern has Holst for Washington Ave
 
The planning board meeting tonight has quite the agenda. 203 Fore Street hasn’t been talked about in years. Just checked into the meeting online and it’s been well over an hour spent on the first agenda item (out of 4 items)… they might be in that room till midnight!
 
Continuing… Pfeiffer (LA) and Perkins Eastman (NYC), then Elkus Manfredi (Boston) for USM Crewe Center and student center, dorm builds. And Roux will get international acclaim. Perhaps the Crewe too. Portland is or will no longer be a little and insignificant place.
