Where it stands

The Portland City Council has voted to deny an appeal aimed at saving the Lloyd Center mall, including its long-standing ice rink. This decision formalizes the rejection of attempts to halt the transition of the property.

Coverage from outlets including OregonLive.com, KGW, KATU, and The Business Journals emphasizes that the council's move effectively greenlights the planned redevelopment project. Reporting notes that a policy group suggested the rejected appeal could have signaled a negative message to potential investors.

Demolition plans for the site are now moving forward as a result of the council’s vote. Future updates will track the timeline for the commencement of construction as established by the approved redevelopment project.
