Alta Principal Katie Mangle recently spoke with Prosper Portland about Alta HQ's exciting move to Downtown Portland, OR, and discussed the significance of being located in Portland's central city.
Did you know that Portland has twice the number of engineers compared to the rest of the US? Architects and engineering offices remain committed to Portland and are expanding their footprints because a vibrant urban environment is central to their mission and their firms benefit from the competitive advantage Portland has in Green Cities. We connected with Katie Mangle at Alta Planning + Design and Brian Squillace at Bora Architecture & Interiors, who both made exciting moves to new office spaces in Portland’s Central City, to learn more from their leaders about why they are committed to Portland. Learn more about Portland's sustainable architecture and engineering industries at We Build Green Cities (WeBuildGreenCities.com).
