  It's natural for restaurant operators to seek out "second generation" space, said Craig Sweitzer, principal with Urban Works Real Estate, a Portland firm that specializes in urban retail space.
  
  Restaurants cost three times more to set up than most other kinds of retail businesses because they require dining rooms, accessible restrooms and commercial kitchens with sophisticated mechanical systems and venting.
  
  "If a new operation can come in and not have to make that kind of expenditure, they can save a significant amount of money," he said.
  
  Terroir, a well-regarded restaurant that opened last year in a new building at 3500 N.E.Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., is a good example of an operator who made a significant investment, then went out of business, said Sweitzer, who helped broker Terroir's 2,500-square-foot lease.
  ...
  Though second generation space makes economic sense, Sweitzer said the credit crisis prevents many operators from expanding.

  Legal sales are at least a month away, said Craig Sweitzer, a principal with Urban Works Real Estate, which is representing sales at Jefferson Station.
  ...
  Sweitzer, whose Urban Works Real Estate typically works on retail deals, got involved with the Jefferson Station project as a broker on the pending sale to the developer, who doesn't want to be identified until it closes.
  
  As the team reviewed the property and talked about potential uses, it concluded it would work best as condominiums, Sweitzer said.Its proximity to the Multnomah County Courthouse could appeal to small law firms.
  
  Still, he was surprised by the level of interest.Because legal sales can't begin, there has been relatively little marketing and brochures on the building were printed just this week.In the past two weeks, he's had a constant stream of requests for tours, which suggests a deep market among businesses that want to own a piece of downtown.
  
  "I think you're going to see quite a few more commercial condominiums in downtown Portland," he said.

  Historically, major retailers have not viewed Oregon City as a desirable market, said Craig Sweitzer, president of Urban Works Real Estate, which specializes in retail property.

  Ikea's location will bring shoppers and energy to the Cascade Station site, which in turn will attract other retailers, said Craig Sweitzer, a retail broker and owner of Portland's Urban Works Real Estate.
  
  "They will draw people from Bend, Oregon; they will draw people from Eastern Washington," Sweitzer said."It truly is a regional pull.There are very few retailers that do that."
  
  In part, Ikea will lure a growing number of affluent Washington consumers who want to avoid that state's sales taxes, he said.
  
  "Parts of Camas now look like Forest Heights," Sweitzer said.
  ...
  Movie theaters were intensely interested in locating there, said Sweitzer, who worked on the project for Trammell Crow for three years until he left in 2002.But around 2000, movie theater companies started going under, after years of overbuilding stadium-seating venues, he said.
  
  About the same time, the growth of big-box retailers slowed, and the sizes of stores they demanded swelled beyond the 60,000 square feet per floor allowed in the zoning.
  
  After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, retailers pulled back.
  
  "Those three factors shot a hole in the project," Sweitzer said.

  After working for national brokerage companies for his entire professional career, Craig opened Urban Works Real Estate in the last quarter of 2002.The sole goal was to provide superior, team oriented, retail brokerage services to his client's without the corporate inflexibility that is so often the standard with most national real estate companies.Negotiating approximately twenty (20) new Starbucks Coffee store leases per year for the past 15 years and growing an urban brokerage identity took persistence and dedication.
  
  Craig has been an advocate for Portland's authentic, urban neighborhoods when such real estate was not considered as attractive as traditional suburban "cookie-cutter centers".Negotiating complex lease issues and marketing mixed-use buildings in Portland's evolving neighborhoods is his specialty.
