Facility Overview

Situated along the busy industrial and commercial corridor of Northeast Portland in the Parkrose neighborhood, the open-air surface parking facility at NE 112th Avenue (serving the 205 Airport Way Business Center campus) offers practical and spacious vehicular accommodation. Designed as an expansive, level asphalt lot, it is laid out to serve visitors, commercial tenants, contractors, and local explorers alike. Because this is an open-air surface deck with no overhead structures, height barriers, or low ceilings, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for all classes of passenger and commercial vehicles, including standard sedans, compact cars, full-size pickup trucks, commercial work vans, sprinter utility vans, and SUVs with roof racks or cargo carriers.

The facility benefits from a strategically advantageous location nestled just south of the Portland International Airport (PDX) flight path and alongside the tranquil waterways of the Columbia Slough. Nearby points of interest include:
