Garfield Studios

Garfield Studios are six live/work units that will support the needs of entrepreneurs. The property is located in the Interstate Corridor urban renewal area, one block from bus stops and two blocks from Vanport Square on NE Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd.

Garfield Studios developers, Beverly and Amy James Neel, received three types of assistance from the Portland Development Commission. They used the Development Opportunities Services (DOS) program which is designed to assist property owners to evaluate project feasibility by providing real estate development expertise and technical assistance. They also received a Commercial Property Redevelopment Loan designed to assist with tenant improvements, development or redevelopment of commercial property that encourages revitalization and wealth creation within urban renewal areas. Finally, PDC provided a Storefront Improvement Loan which offers grants and technical assistance to business and property owners for a variety of improvements, ranging from repainting to purchase new windows and awnings.
