What's the story with this development here? Portland, talk to me.

[Phil McAvity]

This is the first i've heard of this building so i'm sad to hear it has been halted as it would have made a significant contribution to the Portland skyline.

[WestCoast]

height reduced, still on hold, I believe most tenants have since found new locations.

A huge shame for portland, but hardly surprising with the macro economy here.

TMT Development Co. will restart construction of the long-dormant, 27-story Park Avenue West tower in late 2013.
It’s been 33 long months since March 2009, when TMT said it planned to halt construction of its soaring tower at 728 S.W. Ninth Ave., citing financing issues. Construction crews departed a month later, leaving a deep pit surrounded by a fence in the block west of Nordstrom.

Nice! The American skyscraper situation gets brighter every day.

Height reduced!!?? To how many feet?

[bmust71]

So it looks like construction will resume at the end of 2013, right?

[Derek]

Supposedly. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Austinlee]

^ Is there any activity on this site or is it in limbo right now?

[Derek]

It's been a hole in the ground for years...

Its under construction again!! Original was 33 stories, went down to 26, and now its 30 stories 460 ft. I think a little over 500 feet with spire.

3/13 from the webcam. 502 feet, 30-floors.

She's alive!!! Could someone change the thread title in order to reflect the proper floor count and height?

[phillyskyline]

I like this design! Can't wait to see final product after all these years.

This will definitely make a big impact on the skyline. Fourth tallest in Portland, and will help fill in the gap between big pink and the rest of downtown.

Very strange way of construction, normally you build your steel floors around the core continuously. But PAW is going steel right up one small side of the core. Looked at a TON of construction pics on this site and never seen one go up this way.
