Prospective manufacturers and distributors could move into 66 acres of the Gresham Vista Business Park if the Port of Portland seals the deal.

Specht Development is negotiating with the Port of Portland, which owns the park, to buy 37.3 acres bordering Northeast 223rd Avenue. In a pre-development application to the city of Gresham, Specht said it wants to erect three buildings: a larger one of 427,000 square feet and two others of 120,000 and 108,000 square feet. The company declined to comment on purchase or construction prices, but based on other Gresham Vista projects, its development should cost about $45 million.

…The other company negotiating with the Port is Trammell Crow, which is also developing the Subaru property. It wants to buy three lots totaling 28.7 acres along Northeast Glisan Street between the vacant Toppan Photomask building and On Semiconductor.
