Piper Jaffray Takes 18,083 SF at Unico-US Bancorp Tower

PORTLAND-The investment advisory subsidiary of US Bancorp leases the 31st floor in a 10-year deal valued at more than $4 million. The lease brings occupancy in the 1.075-million-sf development to 92%.

PORTLAND-Piper Jaffray is relocating to the 31st floor of Unico-US Bancorp Tower in Downtown Portland. The investment advisory subsidiary of US Bancorp has signed on for 18,083 sf in a 10-year deal with a gross value of around $4.5 million.

One floor above Pacific Coast Restaurants’ new-concept Portland City Grill, the 31st floor was originally the home of the top-level US Bank executives, who used to walk down a back stairwell to the previous restaurant, Atwater’s. Atwater’s was said to be heavily subsidized by the bank before closing its doors early last year, several months after Seattle-based Unico Properties acquired the building from US Bancorp, which maintains a long-term, 100,000-sf leasehold in the office tower’s lower floors that is currently being marketed for sublease.

The Piper Jaffray lease was done directly with Unico Properties. Those involved in the deal declined comment on the details, but other local real estate sources put the average annual full service rate over the life of the lease in the mid-$20s per sf. If the deal was done at an average rate of $26, the gross value of the lease would be about $4.7 million. Assuming a standard tenant-improvement allowance of about $25 per sf, Unico would be putting up about $400,000 to help build out the space, and Piper Jaffray will likely put in at least that much itself to achieve its desired finish.
