The Meier & Frank Delivery Depot, located in northwest Portland, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] Built for Portland retailing company Meier & Frank, the building was designed by Sutton & Whitney and constructed in 1927.[2]
In 2011–12, the building was renovated for use as the new Portland headquarters building of Danish company Vestas Wind Systems, whose U.S. headquarters had been in Portland since 2002, but at a different location.[5] Gerding Edlen Development Company, of Portland, purchased the building in 2007, and Vestas began leasing it in 2010.[3] The renovations cost $66 million, and the company moved into the building in spring 2012.[6] The company is hoping to receive Platinum LEED certification for the renovated building.[6]
