Matt Lyman delivers Portland commercial real estate leasing, sales, and tenant representation across industrial, office, retail, and flex—using a data-driven Best-Price Strategy & Roadmap to position assets, secure renewals, and execute site selections across Oregon and Washington.
Whether you're a landlord trying to lease vacant space, a tenant navigating a renewal, or an investor evaluating an acquisition, the right broker makes a measurable difference in outcome. With 17 years in the Portland market and a full-service platform covering industrial, office, retail, and flex, the work here is straightforward: understand your position, read the market accurately, and execute with discipline.
For landlords and owners: Lease-up strategy, tenant representation coordination, pricing and concession positioning, broker opinion of value, and disposition support across industrial and office assets throughout the Portland metro.
For tenants: Site selection, market surveys, lease negotiation, renewal strategy, and lease rate analysis for companies leasing industrial, office, retail, or flex space in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
For investors and owner-users: Acquisition support, due diligence coordination, underwriting review, and market positioning for buyers and sellers of commercial assets across property types.
Coverage spans the full Portland metro — from the Columbia Corridor and Airport Way to the 217 Corridor, Kruse Way, Hillsboro, Gresham, and Southwest Washington.
WHAT’S YOUR PROPERTY WORTH?
Whether you're benchmarking against recent sales, evaluating a hold-vs-sell decision, or preparing for a refinance conversation, a broker opinion of value gives you a clear, comp-based pricing range for your commercial property. I'll deliver a comprehensive report covering comparable sales, lease comps, vacancy analytics, and a pricing summary with conservative, probable, and optimistic values — at no cost and no obligation.
ARE YOU PAYING THE RIGHT LEASE RATE?
Whether you're negotiating a new warehouse lease, approaching a renewal in the Columbia Corridor, or evaluating whether your current rate reflects today's market, a lease rate analysis gives you the data to negotiate from a position of strength. I'll pull recent lease comps, concession packages, and vacancy trends for Airport Way and Columbia Corridor industrial space — so you know exactly what tenants like you are paying and where there's room to negotiate.

PORTLAND SUBMARKETS
Portland's commercial real estate market doesn't move as one. Vacancy, rents, parking economics, and deal terms vary significantly by submarket and property type — what's true in the CBD isn't true in Hillsboro, what works for a distribution tenant on Airport Way doesn't apply to a creative office user in the Central Eastside, and retail and flex dynamics follow their own logic entirely. Understanding submarket-level conditions across industrial, office, retail, flex, and land is the difference between a good deal and an average one.
The submarket guides on this site cover each major district in the Portland metro: what drives pricing, what tenants and users fit where, how lease structures differ, and what deal terms are realistic right now. Retail, flex, and land guides are in development — check back as coverage expands. Whether you're evaluating a renewal, a new lease, or an acquisition, start with the submarket page that covers your area.
Portland's industrial market spans over 200 million square feet across nine distinct submarkets, each with its own vacancy dynamics, tenant profiles, and lease structures. The office market covers everything from CBD Class A towers to suburban campus product in Hillsboro and along Kruse Way. Whether you're a tenant evaluating locations, a landlord positioning vacant space, or an investor underwriting an acquisition, submarket-level knowledge is the foundation of a sound decision.
