A landmark investment in Portland’s future, Barry Menashe and Menashe Properties support local businesses and culinary innovation while contributing to the revitalization of downtown Portland.
Barry Menashe and his family donates to the James Beard Market Fundraiser, helping to catalyze the growth of the market’s development. The funds will support the purchase of a 17,290-square-foot building at 622 S.W. Alder St. in downtown Portland, formerly home to a Rite Aid.
In addition, the market plans to lease ground-floor space at 610 S.W. Alder St., creating a combined footprint of nearly 40,000 square feet. This expansive project will house 40 new small businesses, including a teaching kitchen, event space, and a variety of local offerings such as a restaurant, bakery, fish market, butcher, cheese shop, wine merchant, and farm stalls, showcasing the best of Oregon’s culinary and agricultural heritage.
