[2] In 2014, Pioneer Place was the third-highest selling mall in the United States based on sales per square foot, sitting just behind Bal Harbour Shops and The Grove at Farmers Market.

Construction on Pioneer Place II began in 1998, and at the time was to add 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) at a cost of around $60 million.

[8] The remaining parts of the Saks footprint was demolished in 2012 to make way for a new Apple Store and a Yard House restaurant.

That parking garage, located to the south, also contains retail space, home to Tiffany & Co.[2] The northern lower above-ground levels of the block with Pioneer Tower housed Saks Fifth Avenue.

Pioneer Place I faces the Fifth Avenue section of the Portland Transit Mall, served by several TriMet bus routes and MAX Light Rail.
