For the last several years we have sponsored the Makers and Manufacturers Awards, presented by Portland Business Journal. Being a continued partner of this event has been very special, as it has allowed us to see our clients and friends recognized for their achievements in the manufacturing sector.

As Gold Sponsors of the event, Kevin VandenBrink had a few words published in the Portland Business Journal. 

“Since 1978, the brokers at Macadam Forbes have advocated for the commercial real estate needs of Portland businesses with a particular emphasis on our robust manufacturing sector. We have witnessed and learned from many transitional periods throughout the years, though maybe none as unique as the events of 2020. We are fortunate to be able to serve the long-term planning and transactional needs to countless local and national manufacturers as they navigate the continually evolving space needs impacted by production, distribution, and employment challenges and opportunities. We strive to continue to apply the lessons from the past to our clients’ future needs.

Macadam Forbes is proud to be a Portland-based company with extensive experience in sales, leasing, investment and development services through Oregon and Southwest Washington. We congratulate the businesses recognized at this year’s Makers and Manufactures Awards and look forward to watching them continue to evolve and grow in the midst of such uniquely challenging times.”
