William Wilson Architects PC: Gateway 99

William Wilson Architects PC has designed a new mixed-use project in Portland’s Gateway District.

Responding to the city’s need for higher-density living and pedestrian-oriented transit, Gateway 99 will include 166 residential units; 35,000 square feet of commercial space; and a large, 19,000-square-foot, landscaped courtyard on its second floor. The commercial space, as well as parking facilities, will be contained within a concrete podium at the structure’s base. On top of the podium will be the courtyard, surrounded by wood frame structures containing 135 apartment units and 31 condominium units. A rainwater harvesting system on the building’s roof will collect stormwater and channel it through a series of unique water features into the courtyard. In addition, recycled building materials will be used, along with daylighting, passive cooling, heat recovery systems and onsite Zipcars.

The 221,500-square-foot project will be located on a 1.73-acre site near Gateway Transit Center at Northeast 99th Avenue and Glisan Street. It is being developed by Glisan Street Developers LLC and is expected to be completed in fall 2010.

The firm project team included principal William Wilson. Other firms involved in the project include civil engineer MGH Associates, structural engineer T.M. Rippey Consulting Engineers, landscape architect GreenWorks PC, sustainability consultant Scott Sinner Consulting, and mechanical and electrical engineer Solarc Architecture & Engineering Inc.
