Construction has officially begun on the CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel in Bend, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with SOLTERRA, Hacker Architects and the entire project team.

Tuesday, we ceremonially marked the beginning of construction on this remarkable wellness destination. As Lewis continues to grow our presence in Central Oregon, we're especially honored to be breaking ground on yet another project in downtown Bend and to strengthen our commitment to serving this vibrant and growing community.

The 130,000-square-foot project will feature a 68-room boutique hotel, a thermal spa, rooftop pools and saunas with sweeping views of the cascades, creating a one-of-a-kind experience tailored to the high desert and outdoor recreation recovery.

With site work already underway, we are excited to bring this project to life and look forward to delivering this exceptional destination to the Bend community.

There’s nothing quite like putting your stamp on a project.

At last week’s topping out ceremony for Portland’s newest music venue, developed by AEG Presents and Monqui Presents, more than 175 project team members, trade partners and guests gathered to mark the occasion and sign a cross-laminated timber panel that will be installed above the venue's entrance, a lasting tribute to the people who built it.

Field leaders also used the milestone to thank the craft workforce for completing the structural phase with an exceptional focus on safety and quality.

With the structure complete, crews are shifting their focus to drying in the building so they can begin installing MEP systems and interior finishes.

When complete in early 2027, the 65,000-square-foot venue at the former Lloyd Center Nordstrom site will accommodate up to 4,250 guests and feature a main stage, mezzanine seating, bars and support spaces.

A topping-out ceremony marks the placement of the final steel beam and the people who made the milestone possible.

Our team recently topped out our HI3 data center jobsite in Hillsboro, Oregon, recognizing the craft workers, trade partners and project team whose dedication and collaboration brought the building's structural frame to completion.

Thank you to everyone on the project for your craftsmanship, teamwork and unwavering commitment to safety. We look forward to carrying that momentum into the next phase as crews prepare for precast wall panel installation later this month.

Today marks the 140th day of Lewis’ 140th year as a Pacific Northwest builder! Teams across Seattle, Portland, Eugene and beyond showed up in their favorite Lewis gear to celebrate a legacy built over generations. From the vintage windbreakers to the modern quarter zips, Lewis swag was on full display!

Since 1886, Lewis employees have helped shape communities through craftsmanship, innovation and pride of ownership. As an employee-owned company, that legacy belongs to every Lewis employee.

Lewis Blue Day is a celebration of the people, relationships and shared values that have carried Lewis through 140 years — and the next 140 to come.

Thank you to every employee who brought their Lewis pride to work today.

Happy !

This week, Lewis is shining a light on the incredible commitment of our safety personnel and builders to achieving a zero-incident work environment.

Across our jobsites, teams are coming together for daily toolbox talks, stretch-and-flex sessions, fall protection demonstrations, glove and eye protection training, hydration education, equipment inspections and team celebrations that recognize safe work done right. From morning briefings to hands-on demonstrations and shared meals, every event reinforces a simple belief: everyone should go home safe. Every day.

We are proud to stand with our people, trade partners and clients in advancing a culture built on accountability, trust and safety.

We recently welcomed ACE Mentor Program of America students to our AEG Presents Portland Music Venue project, giving the next generation of builders an up-close look at construction in action.

Our project team hosted the group with an overview of the build, shared progress photos and led a guided tour of the jobsite. Visiting after crews wrapped for the day allowed students to see construction in progress safely and better understand the role contractors play in bringing complex projects to life.

Construction at the 65,000-square-foot venue — located at the former Lloyd Center Nordstrom site — is moving full steam ahead. With structural steel in place, crews are finalizing decking over the stadia and the main hall roof. The first section of the back-of-house roof was poured this week.

Once complete in early 2027, the venue will host up to 4,250 guests and feature a main stage, mezzanine seating, bars and support spaces.

We’re proud to support ACE Mentoring and invest in the future of the construction industry while delivering a landmark entertainment destination for Portland.

3…2…1…🪏! On a bright and sunny Pacific Northwest spring day last week, we helped break ground on Lake Washington School District's Emerson campus project.

This progressive design-build project involves replacing a facility which currently provides programming spaces for Emerson High School, Emerson K-12 and Northstar Middle School.

We’ll be building a new two-story, 50,000-square-foot facility — designed by Mithun — on the existing playfield. Afterward, the existing building will be demolished to make way for a new outdoor play space. Northstar Middle School and the gym will remain in their current locations on campus.

Funded by LWSD’s 2022 Building Excellence Capital Construction levy, the project will also enhance the opportunity and long-term viability of infant daycare services and set the stage for new career and technical education programs.

We’re proud to partner with LWSD to deliver a modern learning environment that better supports students, educators, staff and the community.

The new Emerson campus will welcome students in fall 2027.
