Urban Renaissance Group [Lloyd Center’s managing partner and 10% stake owner] has announced its intention to close Lloyd Center on August 8, 2026, with plans to completely demolish the mall to make way for new unspecified development.

This is a very real, and imminent outcome if we as a community don’t use our voices to speak out loudly against the tragic and wasteful loss of Lloyd Center.

  • "We're on the cusp of something like never before."

    Lloyd Center is in the midst of a new identity. There's so much amazing and creative energy there. We're on the cusp of something like never before. I'd love to see this new transition of LC blossom to its full potential.

    Don't prune a rose before it has bloomed!

  • "We need to revitalize, not tear down."

    Especially with climate change we need indoor spaces that are cultural attractions. Build on that. I’ve lived down the street my whole life-we need to revitalize, not tear down.

  • "Reinvent as times change."

    Lloyd Center is historic, not just for Portland, but for the US. Please keep this space for us all to use, and to reinvent as times change. Portland does not need more mixed use apartments.

  • "Quintessentially Portland waiting to blossom."

    Artists, creatives, and eccentrics built Portland's 21st century reputation, the one that put the city into the national consciousness and rocketed it up the lists of best places to live. People there see the seeds of something great and quintessentially Portland waiting to blossom with a little help from new tenants, artists, attention, and time.

  • "The Lloyd Center is the perfect place to hold community events."

    No matter the weather, number of attendees, volume of chatter, amount of money, or mode of transportation, the Lloyd Center is a central and accessible space to meet and build relationships which is exceedingly rare in this day and age.

Here’s what you can do to help.
