Ashforth
Adds a Sparkle to Portland's Skyline
Window
Restoration Project Completed and Decades-Long
Window Grime Problem Solved
Ashforth
Pacific, Inc., has changed the look of Portland’s
skyline. After completing a challenging, time-consuming
window restoration project, Ashforth’s 14-story
office tower, One Pacific Square, located in downtown
Portland, now shines as a prominent member of the
Portland skyline.
After
more than three months – a consuming six weeks
of trial and error to produce the right cleaning
mixture and removal process added to eight weeks
of physically cleaning the windows –
One Pacific Square looked like a completely new building.
“This is an extraordinary accomplishment and
a tremendous amount of credit is due to our entire
management team for their determination and persistence,
particularly Scott Lunski, who spent countless hours
formulating a sustainable cleaning solution and the
proper method to clean the grime without damaging the
windows,” said Langley.

Liberty
Centre achieves LEED-EB Silver certification
Ashforth Pacific, Inc. and Liberty Northwest team
up for sustainable management practices award.
Ashforth Pacific, Inc. and our partner Liberty Northwest
have combined a unique blend of energy savings and
operating expertise that has resulted in the United
States Green Building Council (USGBC) awarding LEED-EB
Silver certification to their Liberty Centre building.
“This certification is a reflection of how we
approach the day-to-day management of all our properties,” says
Hank Ashforth, Chairman of Ashforth Pacific. “Since
1999, our goal has been to provide the best service
with the most efficient use of resources with little
or no impact on the environment. We would like to thank
Liberty Northwest for their commitment to making this
process work at Liberty Centre.”
Liberty
Centre is a 17 story Class A office tower situated
in the heart of Portland’s Lloyd District.
Located at 650 NE Holladay Street and with over 277,000
square feet of office space it is the preeminent office
building in the District. Featuring light rail and
such amenities as a conference facility and outdoor
plaza area, it also houses the headquarters of Liberty
Northwest Insurance.
“Liberty Northwest’s commitment to environmental
responsibility is a reflection of how our employees
work hard to deliver the highest quality service to
our policyholders and agents every day,” according
to Julie Burnett, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Liberty Northwest.
“The Ashforth Pacific team deserves to be commended
for their work towards certification,” says Elaine
Aye, principal at Green Building Services, Inc. “LEED-EB
certification allows building owners to document many
of their good practices already in place, and Liberty
Centre is a prime example of this best practice.”
An award ceremony was held at Liberty Centre on October
16th at 11:45am to recognize and promote this achievement.
Speakers included the Honorable Earl Blumenauer; Past
President of USGBC, Christine Ervin; and from Ashforth
Pacific Inc., Chairman Hank Ashforth and CEO Scott
Langley. |
