FOUNTAIN DISTRICT

The Halprin Landscape Conservancy’s vision is to continue to reinvigorate the Portland’s Central City south neighborhood. Here, a series of iconic fountains illuminate green-canopied open spaces within a network of residential and office towers.

In a public-private partnership, the Halprin Landscape Conservancy engaged the community to restore and amplify the neighborhood’s potential. Civic and business leaders protected the city’s historic treasure with the $4 million capital restoration. ‘The Fountain District’ emerged as a catalyst for social and economic transformation gaining momentum among the area’s residents, businesses, and property owners. 

The Fountain District is home to Portland downtown’s important economic, cultural and education assets - the Keller Auditorium, Portland State University, a myriad of the Oregon’s leading businesses, and condominium and apartment complexes offering quality living with outstanding amenities. Featuring excellent pedestrian and transit connectivity via the regional light rail system, the Portland Streetcar and the interstate highway system access through the Portland Open Space Sequence and Halprin Fountains is an unmatched urban experience.  

The Halprin Landscape Conservancy is the visionary steward of the Fountain District ensuring its ongoing contribution to the vitality of downtown Portland.
