Sweetbird North breaks ground in the Design District

The eight-story building will add offices and about 22,500 square feet of ground-floor retail on NE 40th Street.

GroundbreakingReported Oct 1, 2026

Dacra and Raycliff Capital celebrated the start of Sweetbird North on September 30. Designed by Snøhetta, the roughly 120,000-square-foot building combines office space with street-level retail. Its scale makes it a substantial addition to a neighborhood best known for shopping and restaurants. The groundbreaking starts the construction phase; the announcement does not establish an opening date for individual retail tenants.

Our read

More office space could support weekday breakfast, lunch and catering demand beyond the district's existing shopping traffic.
