PDC, council opt for full development option at Centennial Mills



The Portland City Council yesterday gave the go-ahead to the Portland Development Commission to pursue full development of the Centennial Mills property.

Back in February, PDC laid out two different options for the former grain mill site. One would have only developed about a third of the property with a mixed-use development while maintaining Portland Police's Mounted Patrol Unit presence on the site.

The second, assuming the MPU did not relocate to the property, envisioned a full development plan with about 400,000 square feet of new development, including 426 residential units and about 17,000 square feet of commercial space. Some 20,000 square feet of creative office space would be made available in the existing flour mill building, and there would also be two open spaces of about 10,000 square feet each.
