Discover South Waterfront
The South Waterfront area is part of a Portland urban redevelopment project of several high-rises in a combination health, well-being, fitness center and medical research complex. An urban park has been created along the banks of the Willamette River, and a tram and trollies offer transportation to residents and employees. The high-rise condominiums in this neighborhood also rent ground-floor spaces to several restaurants. Many of these dining establishments offer ethnic cuisine. A Vietnamese bistro, a Mexican joint, and a restaurant offering continental European cuisine are just some of the many places you can choose to visit. The high-rises also boast a full-service cafe, several coffee shops, numerous American-style restaurants, an Italian eatery, a sub shop, and a bakery.
