Lloyd & Sullivan's Gulch
Mid-rise apartments and new residential towers stacked between the Oregon Convention Center, the Moda Center, and the rail yards of Sullivan's Gulch (97232) — this is renter-and-professional Portland, and the jobs are tower move-outs and the small-office clear-outs that come with a convention district. We file the building's COI, reserve the freight elevator, and carry it out the service corridor. Flat photo-quoted price, same-day when the dock allows, and no Oregon sales tax.
Tower move-outs and office clear-outs by the arena
Lloyd and Sullivan's Gulch don't look like the rest of the eastside. Instead of bungalows and basements, you get mid-rise apartment buildings and a cluster of new residential towers — glass and brick going up around Holladay Park, along NE Multnomah and Grand, in the shadow of the convention center's twin spires and the arena. It's a district of renters, downtown commuters, and small professional offices, and that mix drives two very specific jobs: the apartment-tower move-out when a lease turns, and the small-office or creative-studio cleanout when a tenant right-sizes or clears out entirely.
Both come with the same catch a downtown building always has — you can't just drag a couch to the curb. Everything rides the freight elevator and goes out through a loading dock or service corridor on the building's schedule, and most towers want a Certificate of Insurance on file before a vendor touches the elevator. That's our lane. We carry insurance, issue the building-specific COI in advance, book the elevator window with your property manager, and split a sectional down for the service car if that's what it takes. One flat price, quoted from photos, covering the labor, the elevator wait, the drive, and the disposal — no hourly meter, no high-rise upcharge, and no tax line, because Oregon doesn't have one.
What we haul in Lloyd & Sullivan's Gulch
- Apartment-tower move-outs — the whole unit cleared on your lease-end date: sofa, bed, dresser, and the rest, carried out through the freight elevator.
- Small-office & studio cleanouts — desks, task chairs, cubicles, filing cabinets, and conference tables from the offices near the convention center.
- Single bulky pieces — a sectional that won't fit the new place, an old mattress set, a broken recliner, gone in one trip.
- E-waste & electronics — monitors, desktops, printers, and old TVs, routed to Oregon E-Cycles free instead of the landfill.
- Appliances — an in-unit washer/dryer or a swapped-out fridge, with the freon recovered on cooling units.
COI on file, freight elevator booked
The towers here run on the same rules as the Pearl and South Waterfront, just a notch shorter. Building management typically wants a COI naming them as additional insured, on file a day or two ahead, and the freight elevator reserved so a move-out isn't fighting the passenger cars. Floors and walls in the service corridor get protected, and everything stages at the dock, not the curb. We handle all of it as a matter of course: you send photos and your building's requirements, we get the paperwork to your property manager, and we show up in the booked window ready to load. If your unit has a split-able sectional or an oversized piece, we break it down for the elevator rather than making it your problem.

Small offices and creative studios
The blocks around the Oregon Convention Center and Lloyd have always held a layer of small professional and creative tenants — a design studio, a nonprofit's suite, a two-room practice, a startup subletting a floor. When one of those closes or downsizes, the furniture and the electronics have to go fast and cleanly, often after hours so it doesn't disrupt the rest of the building. We clear desks, task chairs, cubicles, filing cabinets, conference tables, and old copiers in a single trip, pull the monitors, desktops, and printers and route them to Oregon E-Cycles at no charge, and hand off a flat price up front so there's nothing to reconcile with the landlord later. If your building needs a COI for a commercial move-out, that's the same paperwork we already file for the residential towers.
Where it goes after
Even a fast tower move-out doesn't have to mean a full dumpster. Usable furniture — a good desk, a solid sofa, an office chair with life left in it — goes to Goodwill of the Columbia Willamette, Community Warehouse, or Habitat's ReStore, with a donation receipt if you want one for the business. Mattresses and box springs are recycled free under Oregon's stewardship program instead of landfilled, and every monitor, laptop, printer, and old TV goes to Oregon E-Cycles at no cost. Metal appliances get recycled once the freon's recovered. Diverting all of it keeps our disposal cost down, which is part of why a downtown-adjacent job still lands at a fair flat price.
What Lloyd District customers say
"Moving out of my tower off Multnomah and the building wouldn't let a mover near the freight elevator without a COI. They had the certificate to my property manager the next morning, booked the elevator, and cleared the whole unit on my lease date. No surprise fees."
"We closed our little studio near the convention center and needed the desks, chairs, and a pile of old monitors gone over a weekend. They came after hours, recycled all the electronics, and quoted the whole thing flat from a few photos. Painless."
"Sectional wouldn't fit the new apartment. They split it down for the service elevator, carried it out through the dock, and were gone in twenty minutes. Flat price, and no sales tax at the end was a nice touch."
