Learn about the Redd campus
A two-block campus located in Portland’s Central Eastside, the Redd on Salmon Street is a vibrant hub and a world-class event center. Established in 2016, the Redd continues to grow alongside its community of tenants, advocates, and food entrepreneurs in service of an equitable food system that supports the well-being of the region and its people.
Campus
Redd West
Redd West is a vibrant food hub with 20,000+ square feet of warehouse space (including cold and dry storage, aggregation, logistics, and distribution services), offices, and 3,000+ square feet of kitchen production space in Portland’s urban center.
A collaborative project of Ecotrust and the tenant-partners who manage many of the facilities, Redd West is evolving with community guidance to become a resource for increasing profitable; sustainable food businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and entrepreneurs of color; and strengthening supply chain connections throughout our regional food system.
Redd East
Redd East is a former 1918 ironworks beautifully renovated to offer more than 33,000 square feet of event space. The venues are managed by Ecotrust Events and include the Main Hall, a demonstration kitchen, outdoor plaza, and the Big Dawn Board Room—four spaces which connect seamlessly or stand on their own.
Since 2019, Redd East spaces have held conferences, concerts, markets, cooking demonstrations, galas, and celebrations of love. See our Event Calendar for all public events happening at Redd East, or host your own event by contacting Ecotrust Events.

Realizing what a big support the Redd was for us through various stages of our business, we were ready to move and wanting to open up that opportunity to others.
We honor
Antone Minthorn
The Big Dawn Conference Room is named in honor of Antone Minthorn (Cayuse/Nez Perce), one of the most esteemed tribal leaders in the Pacific Northwest. An advocate for sovereignty, salmon, language revitalization, and tribal government, Antone has served for more than twenty years with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) in various roles, from chief planner to chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Antone has served on the boards of the Northwest Area Foundation, Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts, the Potlatch Fund, the Confluence Project, and the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI), including as president of the ATNI Executive Board. He is also a beloved, long-time Ecotrust Board member. One of Antone’s proudest achievements was the successful return of salmon to the Umatilla River in 1994 following a 70-year absence.
