Adidas North America Inc. met with members of the Overlook Neighborhood Association Tuesday night to discuss the plans for its campus expansion, which it will share with the city of Portland later this week.

Adidas has talked about expansion at its North Portland headquarters on North Greeley Avenue since December 2015, when it announced the acquisition of the 25,000-square-foot building adjacent to the rest of its campus on the back of mounting success in its U.S. rebuild effort. Since then, the German company's Portland workforce has more than doubled from about 800 to more than 1,700 people.

With the growth came some growing pains at Adidas' campus, including lack of desk space and parking issues in Adidas lots and around the neighborhood, which upset neighbors. Adidas North America President Mark King said at the Business Journal's October Power Breakfast that the company has started paying for employees' Uber and Lyft rides to and from work to avoid parking issues, and the company has leased office space at Montgomery Park and elsewhere around Portland to make space for employees while the North Portland build-out is underway.

The expansion is expected to be complete by 2020.

Adidas preparing to expand in North Portland



Adidas North America plans to add three new buildings to its campus in North Portland’s Overlook neighborhood.

Plans for the campus’ east side call for two new buildings: a three-story structure with a gym and a café where a tennis court now sits, and a five-story office building with parking on an existing parking lot. On the west side, the clothier seeks to construct a three-story building with additional dining and meeting space between the existing black and green buildings.

Design advice for the expansion is being sought by applicant LEVER Architecture.

Also, the Adidas store will be moved from 5055 N. Greeley Ave. to Montgomery Park around June, and some employees will temporarily move to other locations in Portland.

Neighbors oppose Adidas campus expansion plans in North Portland

Not everyone's thrilled about Adidas America's impending major campus expansion.

The North Portland project is essential to the company, which has more than doubled its workforce in the past two years and spread out to office spaces around the city to ease crowding at the headquarters and make room for its nearly 1,700 employees.

Adidas (ADDYY) submitted plans for the expansion along with a Design Advice Request to the city of Portland March 27. Thursday, the city will hold the first hearing on the plans. Per the plans, Adidas will add two new buildings east of North Greeley: a five-story office building that sits directly across the street from neighbors on the existing visitor parking lot with four floors of added parking, and a three-story building with a gym and cafe where the existing tennis court sits.

Portland Design Commission signals early approval of Adidas campus expansion plans

Representatives of Adidas and Lever Architecture, which is designing the sportswear company's campus expansion in North Portland, met with the Portland Design Commission Thursday afternoon to present early plans for the project.

The meeting was not a required part of the design review process but aimed to gather advice on the size and location of planned buildings from the commission, which would ultimately have the jurisdiction to appeal the design for the project, and the public. Adidas plans to wait until after May 20 — when the Portland 2035 Comprehensive Plan, which will change the zoning of the Adidas site to allow a greater floor:area ratio, is expected to be approved — to begin the official design review process.

The meeting came not long after a group of Adidas neighbors formed an independent group aimed at opposing the project. But commissioners signaled their general approval of the plans.

These are very attractive buildings. I like where the design has ended up and they've taken a lot of care with their setbacks on all sides of the property.

Adidas breaks ground on Portland campus expansion (Photos)
The project will more than double the size of the company's North American headquarters and create space for 1,000 new jobs.

Adidas on Monday broke ground on a project that will more than double the size of its North American headquarters and create space for more than 1,000 new workers.

The project underscores the company's recent success in North America and further establishes Portland as a hotbed for the footwear and apparel industry.

The expansion will add four buildings and 425,000-square-feet of office space to the company's North American headquarters, which currently has 365,000-square-feet of office space. The headquarters is on Greeley Avenue in the Overlook neighborhood.

An Adidas spokeswoman said the project will cost "several hundred million dollars," but declined to provide a more specific estimate.

Construction cranes latest flashpoint in clash between Adidas and neighbors



Representatives from Adidas North America last December started knocking on the doors of several adjacent homeowners with what seemed like a holiday gift -- a check for $5,000.

Of course, there were strings attached. The 14 neighbors who received the offer were told that three cranes would soon be erected as construction began on several new Adidas buildings. To get the money, homeowners had only to sign a legal document granting the company a “temporary air rights easement for the passage of a crane boom through unimproved air space over Grantor’s property.”
