Prime West End Corner

Colliers is pleased to present the Blanchard Building, a two-story masonry building occupying a prominent corner at SW 10th Avenue and SW Yamhill Street in the heart of Portland's West End. Built in 1920, the building pairs period character (exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, and large storefront glazing) with a layout suited to both ground-floor retail and second-floor office use.
Blanchard is available individually or as a paired purchase with the neighboring Pythian Building. Together, the two properties total 20,000 SF of land under shared zoning and district overlay, a rare contiguous assemblage opportunity in one of the most attractive locales in the city.
The Blanchard Building's vacant second floor consists of roughly 9,278 square feet across two separate units, and is elevator-served, move-in ready, and finished with exposed wood ceilings, oversized offices, conference rooms, and natural light from two exposures. These features benefit an owner/user buyer with immediate plans for the space, or an investor pursuing upside with minimal capital investment.
For over three decades the building was home to Finnegan's Toys & Gifts, which operated from its SW Yamhill-facing storefront from 1981 until 2011. Today the ground floor is anchored by Case Study Coffee, alongside Crafty Wonderland and Grand Gesture Books, continuing the building's long run as a home for independent Portland retail.
The Blanchard sits directly across from the Multnomah County Central Library and a short walk from Director Park and Pioneer Courthouse Square, in one of downtown Portland's most walkable submarkets. The location benefits from direct MAX Light Rail and Portland Streetcar access at the corner, the Portland Smart Park site across the street, and close proximity to Nordstrom, Pioneer Place, and the broader retail core.
