2016 Market Analysis

The 2016 Downtown Milwaukie Market Analysis determined that the commercial district has the opportunity to become a local destination and experience unprecedented success. The recent addition of the light rail, the overwhelming success of events, growing business core, and the forthcoming Urban Renewal plan make today a better time than ever to redevelop, relocate to, and reinvigorate historic downtown Milwaukie.

With consensus among customers, business owners, and property owners, downtown Milwaukie can support a variety of new businesses, including a grocery store, eateries, and an apparel store. The study noted that Milwaukie has the potential to support more than $18 million worth of new sales and more than 69,000 square feet of new retail space.
