The Ecotrust Building, otherwise known as the Natural Capital Center, is a historic building located in the heart of the Pearl District. This multiuse building is home to some of Portland's most unique venue spaces, owned and operated by Ecotrust. These beautifully renovated locations, with exposed beams and brick archways, can host conferences, weddings, galas, and more. Reserve a space on its own or bring the whole building to life with your vision. Event rental proceeds go towards supporting Ecotrust's mission of environmental and social good. Reviewers had a great experience renting space at Ecotrust for various events, including weddings, parties, and book launch parties. The building's unique beauty and versatile spaces, such as the Rooftop Terrace and the Billy Frank Jr Room, were praised for complementing the events' themes and accommodating the guests' needs. The staff, particularly Heather Sparks, was described as friendly, responsive, and highly experienced in coordinating with vendors. While the overall cost was considered reasonable compared to other downtown Portland venues, some reviewers mentioned that certain rental add-ons were not fully transparent during the contract phase. Additionally, the limited rental period of 11 hours was seen as a challenge, especially for weddings with off-site ceremonies. Overall, the Ecotrust Building is a highly recommended venue for its stunning spaces, professional staff, and support for a worthy cause, making it an attractive option for a wide range of events in the Portland area.
