The Nordstrom building in downtown Portland, Oregon, occupies a city block next to Pioneer Courthouse Square and houses a Nordstrom store.
The building was completed in 1977. [1] According to The Oregonian, the building's construction "helped kickstart a much-needed retail revitalization". [2] In 2001, Parr Financial purchased the building from Portland CT Investment Inc. for $13.1 million plus $200,000 in other costs. [3]
Garth Edwards' 1990 brushed stainless steel sculpture Urban Arrangements is attached to the east and west sides of the building. [4] [5] The artwork depicts abstract trees and branches, measures approximately 10 ft. x 15 ft. x 1/2 in., and was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's " Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.
