Wasn't that called "The Seven"?

Wow. It looks better NOW than it will when it's finished. Yikes.

But Con-way, the freight giant who owns the parking lots and warehouses here, has lucrative plans to sell 17 acres, parcel by parcel, for housing, shopping and nightlife—the biggest such development near downtown since the South Waterfront—all within walking distance of the freight giant’s offices for its 750 Portland employees.

I thought someone would have already posted this article by now.

Looks like they have submitted this for permit now.

There is another big Conway property development proposal, including the much discussed grocery store, set to go before the design commission on August 18th:

EA 12-156491 DA – New Mixed-Use Development at Block 296 of the Conway Master Plan
Kara Fioravanti, BDS, 503-823-5892
APPLICANT: Tom DiChiara – CE John
ADDRESS: 1717 NW 21st Ave
The proposed project will contain approximately 185 apartment units with underground parking, and approximately 15,000 sf of ground floor retail space composed in two 6-story buildings. The project also includes the adaptive re-use of an existing 1950s-era warehouse for a 30,000sf grocery store, with
associated surface, covered, and underground parking. A 40’ wide pedestrian plaza will bifurcate the 92,000 sf site. (Note: The Conway Master Plan land use review is currently pending, LU 12-135162 MS.)

Good to see the Conway property moving forward....though I am still annoyed with the need to tear down perfectly good buildings on 23rd....I liked that bar

I feel like this is a 'you have to break eggs to make omelettes' kind of a situation. Plus, Lompoc are going to be a tenant in the new building.

Just to be clear on the Old Lompoc site, that was not owned by Con-way. That is a totally seperate development. The other 1/2 of the block, that was parking, is the formerly Con-way owned lot.

Developers are sure in love with the 5 over 1 design style, however, a little variation in the massing process would create a less intimidating and bulking housing form. I am pro-densification, but just because the building format worked in the pearl, it doesn't mean that it would be desirable to have that strew through every neighborhood.

For instance, I would consider breaking up the blocks to make adequate sized parcels for smaller finer grain development, with some of the large blocks created to offer a super block (with building articulation of course) development by a larger developer. That said, I am a very big fan of the modifications to the intersections to the NW of the site. 23rd and the freeway have had a constant conflict, and this modification could alleviate traffic congestion at the north end of 23rd.

new plans for remodeling the stadium fred meyer

(for some reason, i had to actually download this pdf; it wouldn't open in chrome)

^That is a massive redevelopment for that store!

2oh1 · #**216** Posted: **Aug 15, 2012, 5:43 PM**

I thought they announced a major redevelopment of that store in March of last year. I still have a link to the article about it, but the link no longer works.

Yes, they did, but they have improved (in my opinion) them. It is a slightly bigger development now.

2oh1 · #**219** Posted: **Aug 16, 2012, 6:51 PM**

Well, it sounds like it's good news. I hope it happens. I assumed the previous plans from over a year ago were well underway. I guess not - but like you said, this sounds like it's an improvement.

Derek · #**220** Posted: **Aug 16, 2012, 7:32 PM**

It will happen. Don't worry about that.
