Law firm Perkins Coie made news last fall by announcing a downtown Seattle move from its longtime home at 1201 Third Ave. to the nearby Russell Investments Center. With some 800 attorneys and staff, Perkins then said it would take about half the space, dropping from about 297,000 to 150,000 square feet. Now there’s a sequel of sorts to that movie. Perkins said last week that it would keep its Portland home at Brewery Block 2 (pictured), but will reduce its office footprint to 29,239 square feet. That’s about half its old total, on three full floors. The firm has about 115 lawyers and staff in Portland. Its Chris Rich said in a statement, “We’re thrilled to reaffirm our deep commitment to Portland’s business community, and to our many clients in the city and across the greater region.” In the Pearl District, Gerding Edlen began developing the mixed-use Brewery Blocks project circa 2007. It has seven buildings on five contiguous city blocks, and encompasses the historic old armory and Blitz-Weinhard Brewery. Various portions have since been sold to several parties.
