Portland Thorns, Fire Owners Expand Hillsboro Office Footprint with New HQ

RAJ Sports, the sports investment platform for the owners of the NWSL’s Portland Thorns FC and the Portland Fire WNBA franchise, signed a long-term lease expansion for its headquarters at 8760 NE Evergreen Parkway in Hillsboro, Oregon.

The additional lease comes 14 months after a 15-year lease agreement was signed with RAJ Sports for two other office buildings and surrounding land to develop the first dual-sport professional women’s performance center and practice facility for the Thorns and Fire.

Workspace Property Management announced the deal. “We are excited to support the Portland Thorns and Portland Fire and transform our prime Hillsboro location into the undeniable home of women’s sports in the Pacific Northwest,” said Tom Rizk, CEO of Workspace Property Management.

RAJ Sports remains the anchor tenant at the 12-acre Evergreen Corporate Center, which includes the dual-sports performance complex, along with two remaining office buildings. The Thorns and Fire’s corporate headquarters will be positioned on the first floor of the two-story building.
