Eastport Plaza is a strip mall located on Southeast 82nd Avenue in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
Construction began on October 20, 1959,[2] and was carried out by the Anderson–Westfall Construction Company. It was one of the biggest construction projects in the Pacific Northwest at the time and cost $5 million. It opened on October 27, 1960.[citation needed]
Originally an enclosed shopping mall, former anchor stores included J. C. Penney, Mervyn's (which replaced Lipman's), Newberry's, Albertsons, Tower Records and G.I. Joe's. It largely became a dead mall in the 1990s, particularly after Mervyns moved to Clackamas Promenade, near Clackamas Town Center, in 1988, part of a flight of businesses and customers to the newer, larger suburban mall to Eastport's south on 82nd Avenue. The enclosed structure was demolished in 1996, replaced by the current open-air shopping plaza.[3][4][5]
