The PAE Living Building in Portland, Oregon is designed to meet the world’s most ambitious sustainability standards and hopes to be the first developer-driven and largest commercial urban Living Building in the world. The five-story, mixed-use building demonstrates replicable and cost-effective solutions for sustainable design, removing barriers for other highly sustainable projects, all while enhancing the neighborhood and acting as a regenerative ecosystem. It shows the world what a Living Future can look like while providing the roadmap for how to get there. As the largest commercial project in the world to pursue the Living Building Challenge, it is on track to achieve full certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). It aims to achieve all seven key performance areas, also known as Petals: Place, Water, Energy, Health & Happiness, Materials, Equity, and Beauty. The PAE Living Building is preparing to enter its performance period ahead of certification, with a goal of being certified as a Living Building in 2023.
