ART Tower (1515 SW Morrison St) | 224' | 20 floors | Complete
 

Notice of a Pre-Application Conference for 1515 SW Morrison St:

This is a surprising and potentially exciting proposal. It would be one more step in activating a sleepy section of SW Alder just a block or so from the even larger mixed-use project that will replace the Monte Sheldon building between Burnside and Alder. Also, the Alder side of ART is still pretty brutal despite ART's efforts to tart it up. It seems to invite graffiti. I just wonder what the theater company is planning as they apparently will be demolishing one of its performance spaces as well as rehearsal space.

If all the buildings proposed in this part of Goose Hollow actually get built it's going to radically change the area, for the better.

Also: interesting to see a large project being proposed post-IZ. (Riverplace redevelopment is obviously larger, but that requires zoning changes that may or may not happen).

^^^ Maybe it's time for a Goose Hollow round-up on Next Portland? ;-)

The Goose Hollow website (www.goosehollow.org) has a map of projects here.

Wow, that is extremely helpful Rhome, thanks. I can barely keep track of half of what's happening in Portland these days. Have we even covered the Butler Block here?

Same here, with all the stuff going on in my life plus everything that is going on in Portland, it is just too much to keep up on. Throw in all the development going on in Seattle, and the Northwest is just exploding with new development.

To be fair we don’t have much big projects. We certainly do have a healthy build going on but what I mean is I wouldn’t say anything from them are really eye popping..

Now Seattle indeed has some eye popping stuff happening. Even Bellevue for that matter..

Now the Riverplace developments is quite interesting, post office when that starts breaking ground then that as well, and if the North Pearl really starts taking off then I’d agree

Wow. That's, what, about 1500 units?. I count about 950 plus Press Blocks plus Butler.

What's going on with the Butler Block?

1501 SW Taylor is turning out a nice building.

This is my first time seeing “Butler Block” anywhere and now I’m highly intrigued.

...continues at the Willamette Week.

Would it be unrealistic to think that ART could negotiate themselves into the new property where they could still occupy all or part of the ground floor of the new building, so in theory they wouldn’t be losing any performing space?

6-1-18 - Design Advice Request

Another inclusionary zoning-subject project being started.

The "IZ isn't working" headlines notwithstanding.

Design advice and construction are two different things. Can't count our chickens until ground is broken

The argument against inclusionary zoning was never that it would shut down all development (clearly it hasn't) but that overall it would mean less housing development (clearly it has) and that in the long run lower rates of housing production would push prices up.
