A new Affordable Commercial
Tenanting Program by the city’s
economic development agency
addresses a dramatic increase in
retail rents and a decrease in va-
cancy rates which have resulted
in the displacement of small busi-
nesses from urban neighborhoods.
Under the program, Prosper
Portland seeks to assist underrep-
resented businesses, preserve the
vitality of small businesses, pro-
vide business development oppor-
tunities that offer needed goods
and services to the community,
and advance the agency’s goal to
build an equitable economy.
“This new tenanting program
offers small, diverse businesses
access to affordable commercial
space. It demonstrates our new
approach to projects to ensure that
we’re generating equitable out-
comes from our investments and
contributing to shared prosperity
throughout Portland,” said Pros-
per Portland Executive Director
Kimberly Branam.
The program is currently avail-
able at two sites in Lents Town
Center in southeast Portland. It
will expand to include Alberta
Commons in northeast Portland
and a site in downtown Portland.
The program offers qualified
businesses an equitable appli-
cation process, access to space,
and in some cases additional in-
centives designed to lower the
barriers to entry for emerging
and small businesses, such as re-
duced rent, tenant improvement
contributions and technical as-
sistance.
Priority businesses are those
led by owners who are diverse in
terms of race, gender and other de-
mographics typically underrepre-
sented in the business community,
and who provide needed business
services to the local community.
Applications to the program are
now being accepted. The reviews
of applications will begin on Aug.
1, followed by a rolling, first-come
first-serve review process until all
spaces are filled. For more infor-
mation, contact program manager
Leila Aman at amanl@prosper-
portland.us or 503-823-3305.
