An overnight fire at the youth-focused 4D Recovery center off NE 100th Avenue will likely delay construction timelines for the currently unoccupied facility. The nonprofit organization bought the 1980-era office building at 180 NE 100th Avenue in July 2025 and began transforming the structure into a new treatment center with onsite living space for inpatient care.

A social media announcement at the time of the building’s acquisition explained that the site would “become Oregon’s first Adolescent and Family Recovery Campus.” It went on to say the site would host 4D Recovery’s youth detox, residential inpatient treatment, outpatient care, mental health services, family therapy, and a recovery community center. The organization has roots back to 2012, when it began providing a safe place to hang out and socialize for young people seeking recovery, offering a drug- and alcohol-free environment. It has grown to support a variety of youth recovery services operating in over half a dozen Oregon locations.

The fire that broke out before 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, April 11th, already had visible flames when Portland Fire & Rescue’s Engine 19 arrived at the scene. According to reports, construction fencing initially inhibited access, but crews quickly began addressing the fire, working to keep the flames contained to the single-story portion of the nearly 18,000-square-foot building. Additional alarms called by first responders brought in more firefighting resources, and the fire was mostly contained by midnight. The source of the fire is still under investigation.

The new Adolescent & Family Campus was set to open in the first half of 2026. This fire will set back those plans for a nonprofit that planned to serve youth ages 14 to 17 from this location. Fire officials report there were no injuries, and no one was displaced as the building was still under construction.

Update April 13, 2026: Fire officials have determined through their investigative practices that the April 11th fire at 180 NE 100th Avenue was an act of arson. Investigators do not have evidence to suggest the youth recovery facility was specifically targeted, but they are seeking a person of interest in connection with this arson event.
