The Oregon Sustainability Center is a proposed high-rise in downtown Portland that would meet the criteria for a "living building" -- a structure that collects its own water and generates its own energy, with a zero carbon footprint.
Only three buildings in the country currently qualify as living buildings. This would be the first in the Pacific Northwest, and the first in any urban area.
