The 2,800 square foot facility is located at 8601 SW Terwilliger Blvd, in the heart of Burlingame, a very desirable and upscale neighborhood with excellent proximity to major freeways and arteries.

"We are pleased to be expanding our foot print in the city of Portland.  Portland houses more than 2.5 million residents of the 4.4 million residents of Oregon," said Nectar COO Devra Karlebach. "Continuing to build out our presence in Oregon's highly populated neighborhoods and cities is something we believe will further compliment Nectar's expansion plans.  11.6% of Burlingame residents work from home which represents a higher percentage of people working from home than 95.8% of the neighborhoods in America.  Burlingame is uniquely immersed with more urban sophisticates than 95.9% of neighborhoods across the country.  Burlingame residents are executives and managers by week and serial patrons of the arts, shops and restaurants at night and on weekends with above average disposable incomes. This neighborhood has a higher income than 80.4% of the neighborhoods in America.
