My buddy Christian, owner of Pacific Home Funding, filled me in on a little commercial development news.

Pottery Barn is coming to Oakway Mall. Here’s a link to the various permits that were filed.

First PF Changs, now Pottery Barn. Oakway Mall management has made some big moves to help the city of Eugene move past 1965 and into the modern world. There’s nothing wrong with a little self-interest along the way.

Giant sinkholes in Downtown Eugene are evidence of what can happen when investors’ self-interest is perceived as bad for all. Oakway appears to be a dogma free zone, and I think (most) everyone is impressed by what they have been able to do for that mall in 10 years.
