Short Description: 
The 1951 Art Deco warehouse once moved goods for C&H Sugar and Quaker Oats until 40 years ago when the property was condemned for the unrealized Mount Hood freeway. The $17 million redevelopment now houses 250 people, seven businesses and two non-profits. An old railroad spur is buried at the street level, a remnant from the days when trains would pull up to the loading dock inside the building. Public transportation now delivers employees to the doors of RiverEast Center.
