Goat Blocks is a mixed-use development in Portland, Oregon, United States.

The complex was built on a 2-acre field which was previously home to the Italian restaurant Monte Carlo,[1] and later a herd of goats,[2] known as the "Belmont Goats".[3][4][5]

Killian Pacific's development project includes a grocery store (Market of Choice),[6] a hardware store,[7] and an apartment complex.[8][9] The non-alcoholic pop-up restaurant Suckerpunch operated at the Goat Blocks in 2022.[10]
