# Things are shaping up around here: ISITE selects location for new Portland headquarters

Okay. So I’m not the [Daily Journal of Commerce](http://djcoregon.com/ "Daily Journal of Commerce"). But I’m also not one to let an interesting real estate deal go by the wayside.

[Portland’s ISITE has just announced that they’re moving into 18,000 sq ft in Northwest Portland](http://www.isitedesign.com/insight-blog/11_06/breaking-ground)—the former LA Fitness building.

Looking at traditional office locations, we were not finding spaces that would create the type of environment we wanted to provide our employees.

A [launching new initiatives](http://www.isitedesign.com/news/isite-design-launches-day2-digital-optimization-program "ISITE Design launches Day2, a digital optimization program") like [Day2](http://getreadyforday2.com/ "Day2").

And for as much guff as we give folks about moving their corporate headquarters around here, we should take a moment to laud those who are choosing to make Portland their home.
