North Rim

What North Rim does

North Rim, doing business as North Rim Partners, is a privately held commercial real estate company founded in 1995 and headquartered at 819 SE Morrison St., #110 in Portland, Oregon. The company owns and operates a portfolio of commercial properties across the Portland Metro Area, including assets in the Lloyd District, Hollywood District, Central Eastside, North Williams, Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Clackamas, Happy Valley, and King City. Its portfolio spans five property categories — office, medical/dental, retail, commercial kitchen/restaurant (with Multnomah County Health Department approved buildouts), and flex/industrial — anchored by named assets such as Grand Central Crossing, Diamond Peak Plaza (17,000 sq. ft.), Mt. Whitney (11,700 sq. ft.), Kings Canyon (20,000 sq. ft.), Black Butte Corporate Center (27,000 sq. ft.), Mt. Jefferson, Everest, and Mont Blanc. The company has executed multiple renovation and adaptive re-use projects that incorporate green-certified products and energy-efficient systems.

The business generates revenue through three streams: recurring commercial leasing (primary), one-time commercial property sales to investors via NNN-lease offerings (secondary), and managed property services that include 24/7 maintenance coordination with repair contractors. Pricing is quote-based and varies by property type, size, location, and lease term. North Rim sells and leases directly to SMB and mid-market tenants and uses a field-sales approach led by CEO Jeffrey Weitz and President Matthew Schweitzer for investor property sales. Its go-to-market is supported by an interactive property-listing website (northrimpdx.com) and a presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube (CommercialPortland).

North Rim is led by a small management team including CEO Jeffrey Weitz, President Matthew Schweitzer, Marketing Director Kate Brookins Schweitzer, Accounting Supervisor Tanya Williams, and Executive Assistant/Transaction Coordinator Christy Hrdliczka. The firm maintains community partnerships with nonprofits including Community Warehouse (since 2006), Kinship House (since 2016), International School of Portland, Portland Street Art Alliance, and Central City Concern. There is no proprietary technology product, no external funding, and no parent company identified in source materials.
