Portland’s downtown economy pivots to a new normal, not a return to the past

A Portland Metro Chamber report says downtown’s office demand won’t rebound to pre-pandemic levels, with 2025 leasing at record lows and vacancies at record highs, even as foot traffic improves due to residents and visitors. The shift reflects lasting changes from hybrid work, requiring a broader downtown mix—housing, entertainment, small businesses and attractions—to sustain activity beyond weekday office crowds. Regional job growth lags and housing affordability remains a constraint, while policy steps like accelerating permits and attracting investment (including Moda Center upgrades) are cited to diversify the economy and restore vitality.

Baltimore's Reimagined Artscape Celebrates Success and New Beginnings

The article describes the disappointment of a Baltimore couple with the new location and setup of Artscape, a once-celebrated arts festival, which they feel has lost its magic and vibrancy due to its move to a grittier downtown area, limited music and art offerings, and crowded, less inviting spaces, leading them to hope for a return to its former glory.

"Inspiration Mock Orbiter Shuttle Parts Land in St. Cloud"

The Inspiration Mock Orbiter has arrived in St. Cloud, but its final location is uncertain due to size constraints. While Mayor Dave Kleis hopes to place it downtown to boost economic development, organizer Felicity John Pederson is skeptical it will fit.

"GM to Relocate Detroit Headquarters to New Downtown Tower for Redevelopment"

General Motors plans to relocate its Detroit headquarters to a new downtown office tower and redevelop its current site, the iconic Renaissance Center. The company will hold a news conference with Bedrock real estate firm to announce the plans, and the move is part of a broader trend as GM adapts to a hybrid work structure and reduced office space needs. The new headquarters will be in a tower being built by Bedrock, and the plan does not involve selling the Renaissance Center. GM CEO Mary Barra and Bedrock Chairman Dan Gilbert will attend the announcement, and the move signifies the end of an era at the current site, which has housed the company since 1996.
