Arts magnate buys downtown Pendleton bank
Schnitzer
considers gallery,
connecting with
local nonprofi ts
remain empty.
“It hurt me to see those
vacancies (on Main Street),”
said Schnitzer. “It doesn’t
reflect well on the commu-
nity that’s so proud. This
may be crazy, (but I bought
it at auction) as another way
of giving back.”
Schnitzer said he has been
visiting Pendleton since
the early 1980s, attending
just about every Round-Up
since. His ties to the rodeo
began when he arrived in
town with a date but no hotel
reservation. Luckily, Pend-
leton hospitality saved the
trip by putting him up for the
night.
“It was so exciting and so
much fun,” Schnitzer said of
the Round-Up. “I went up
and schmoozed the rooms
manager at the Red Lion, and
I’ve had rooms there (during
Round-Up) ever since.”

PENDLETON — Jordan
Schnitzer, one of Oregon’s
most prominent real estate
developers and arts sup-
porters, recently purchased
a long-vacant property on
Pendleton’s Main Street.
His plans for the former
bank building are not yet
decided, but Schnitzer said
he is considering it for gal-
lery space and pop-up stores,
and forging partnerships
with Crow’s Shadow Insti-
tute for the Arts, Pendleton
Center for the Arts and the
Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry .
There are plenty of pos-
sibilities for the building, he
said, and only one idea has
been ruled out: It will not

“I brag and rave about
Pendleton to everybody,” said
Schnitzer. “It is a wonderful
community, fabulous people,
wonderful quality of life.”
So what’s to become of the
9,500-square-foot property,
located at the corner of Main
and Dorion, with a walk-in
vault and the charm of a 1970s
fi nancial institution?
“I don’t have a clear idea,”
he said. “Obviously we buy
lots of commercially viable
real estate to make a profi t.”
But he doesn’t know if
that’s the case with this pur-
chase. He said the main desire
was to benefi t Main Street
Pendleton and the city’s
nonprofi ts.
‘A place to be involved’
Local arts organizations, in
particular, are excited to see
what Schnitzer will do with the
space and how they could part-
ner in the plans.
“It’s a huge sign that there
is interest, and that potential
outside investors see this as
a place to be involved,” said
Karl Davis, executive direc-
tor of Crow’s Shadow Insti-
tute for the Arts, located in
Mission. He said the institute
has long considered opening
a downtown Pendleton space,
but the economic investment
never penciled out. But per-
haps with Schnitzer’s help,
that could become more
viable.
Roberta Lavadour, execu-
tive director of the Pendleton
Center for the Arts, said she
too is interested in watching
how Schnitzer moves forward.
But the step he has already
taken — putting up money and
becoming a part of Pendleton
development — is big news in
itself.
“He saw it as a valuable
investment,” she said. “He
thinks investing in Pendleton
is a smart thing to do.”
Outlook is strong
Schnitzer said the long-
term outlook for cities like
Pendleton — and other larger
inland locations like Tulsa,
Omaha and Salt Lake City —
are strong.
He said millennials will

CANNON BEACH —
When the ground begins to
shake on the north end of Can-
non Beach, will you know
where to go? The Cascadia
S ubduction Z one earthquake
could create a tsunami that will
reach the North C oast within
15 to 20 minutes, according to
the state.
The fi fth annual evacuation
route practice walk on Satur-
day offers an opportunity for
both residents and tourists to
learn how to get to the tsunami
safe zone.
The walk should take 15
to 20 minutes, volunteer tsu-
nami walk coordinator Jeneé
Pearce-Mushen said.

start to move away from the
crowded, expensive coasts
toward places that are smaller,
more affordable, have good
schools and a slower speed
of life. But those cities must
have the cultural amenities
needed to attract new resi-
dents. Oftentimes, rural towns
lag behind in that regard.
“We need the culture to
improve, so there is more for
people to do,” said Schnitzer.
“And we need to create jobs.”
Schnitzer, who lives in
Portland, is president of
Harsch Investment Properties,
a privately owned real estate
investment company that
owns 23 million square feet
of property and boasts a bil-
lion-dollar real estate portfo-
lio. His personal art collection
is one of the country’s largest,
and includes many important
contemporary works. He cur-
rently lends pieces from that
collection, which has enabled
more than 100 exhibitions at
more than 75 museums.
Schnitzer is also a major
benefactor of the Astoria
Column.
