About Montgomery Park

Montgomery Park was first built as one of Montgomery Ward’s national distribution centers. In 1989 Naito Corporation renovated the building and switched two of the last four letters of the famous electric “MONTGOMERY WARD” sign to read “MONTGOMERY PARK.”

This premier office building is now the second largest in Portland by volume. Its award-winning nine story atrium hosts a wide variety of events.

Parking is plentiful and free!
