In addition to commercial sales and leasing activity totaling over a million square feet, Debbie Thomas Real Estate has marketed and sold over 500 units in the Pearl District valued at over $300 million dollars.
Debbie Thomas started her downtown Portland-based commercial brokerage company in 1992. Soon after, she saw a greater opportunity just north of Burnside in Portland's Pearl District and in the Northwest neighborhood surrounding NW 23rd Avenue. This put the company on the ground floor at the beginning of the boom in the Pearl.
When developer John Carroll determined that residential lofts were the best use for the Chown Pella warehouse redevelopment in 1995, Debbie was pleased to be invited to develop the marketing and sales strategy for the project. Collaboration with John Carroll now includes Mckenzie Lofts (1997), The Gregory Lofts (2000), The Edge Lofts (2004), The Elizabeth (2005), The Eliot Tower (2006) all mixed-use properties. Marketing and sales services are currently underway on another project by developer Jack Onder: The Westerly.
