Portland’s Ritz-Carlton homeowners see NBA stars in the lobby, swim in an infinity pool with sky-high views and are cosseted by round-the-clock concierge service. Even at half price, the prices still tower over the average Portland condo. The 35 deals put together since its lender repossessed the building last year averaged $742 per square foot, down 27% from the $1,019 average price per square foot for the 11 prior sales, according to interviews and securities filings.
