Concorde Colleges Leases 30,000 SF Long Term

PORTLAND-Concorde Career Colleges Inc. has signed a 15-year lease for 30,350 sf at Lloyd Plaza, a 54,525-sf building located on the south side of Interstate 84 in Portland’s Lloyd District. The lease brings the building to 100% occupancy.

The Kansas City-based publicly traded provider of health-related career training programs has been in Portland for decades and is currently leasing about 17,000 sf of leased space at 1827 NE 44th Ave. Company CFO Paul Gardner tells GlobeSt.com the company relocating to the larger space due to growth in enrollment.

Concorde Colleges chose Lloyd Plaza in part due to its proximity to the school’s existing location and also because it could accommodate the school’s parking needs, which are more extensive than the typical office tenant, says Gardner.
