The Multnomah County Central Courthouse serves as the courthouse for Multnomah County, Oregon. It is located in downtown Portland, Oregon, the county seat. It opened in October 2020,[1] replacing a nearby building that had been constructed between 1909 and 1914.[3]
Ground was broken on the project to build the new courthouse in October 2016,[4] at which time it was scheduled to be completed in 2020 and cost $300 million.[2][5] It reached its full height of 325 feet (99 m) on November 9, 2018.[6] The building opened to the public on October 5, 2020.[1][7]
