Key Housing, a California-based provider of corporate housing and furnished short-term rentals, has officially expanded its operations into Oregon with a focus on the Portland market. The company announced its featured February listing at Eddyline at Bridgeport, signaling its strategic entry into a region known for its concentration of technology companies and diverse business opportunities.
Bob Lee, President of Key Housing, stated that Oregon has long been a target for expansion, particularly Portland, where business travelers increasingly seek alternatives to traditional hotel accommodations. "Business travelers to the Northwest want more than a sterile hotel room and ice in the ice machine," Lee said. "They want a 'home away from home,' which is what a furnished apartment is."
The selection of Eddyline at Bridgeport at 18049 SW Lower Boones Ferry Road reflects Key Housing's emphasis on properties that combine strategic location with residential amenities. The complex is situated near Bridgeport Village and major employers, including Durham Business Park, which houses an Applied Materials office. This proximity to technology companies makes the location particularly attractive for corporate clients, as Portland has established itself as a significant technology hub with many companies operating within close distance of the property.
Unlike extended-stay hotels, Eddyline at Bridgeport offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, and spacious living areas. These features address a common complaint among business travelers who find hotel rooms restrictive during longer stays. The property's design caters to professionals who may bring family members or simply prefer living in residential-style accommodations during extended assignments.
Portland's business landscape supports the demand for corporate housing services. According to data from https://www.portland.gov/, the city's top employers include Intel, Nike, Fred Meyer, US Bank, and Portland General Electric, representing diverse sectors from technology to retail and finance. This economic diversity creates consistent demand for temporary housing solutions for employees across multiple industries.
The expansion represents Key Housing's first move outside California, where it has operated since 1992. The company positions itself as an alternative to extended-stay hotels, particularly for professionals in fields like healthcare, technology, and corporate relocation. Portland's combination of technology employment, outdoor recreational opportunities, and manageable community size makes it an attractive market for corporate housing providers seeking to serve business travelers who value both professional opportunities and quality of life.
