They’re the most important people you’ll never see. The Melvin Mark Construction Company architects, engineers and operations staff — our in-house team dedicated to keeping things running smoothly.

These skilled professionals are trained to spot, report and fix problems — often before tenants and owners know the problem even exists. Burnt-out light bulbs are replaced promptly. Sidewalks are washed or plowed. Elevators are in top working order. Between property managers and operations people, someone from Melvin Mark makes the rounds of every building we own or manage making sure all is well — weekly, if not daily.

That’s melvinizing on the front lines. From renovation services and tenant improvement to the nuts-and-bolts of maintenance and operating systems, we sweat the details so you don’t have to.

Portland, Oregon, is hailed as one of the most livable cities in the country.
