The waterfront pearl will have a MASSIVE waterfall, "lake" thing in between the two towers on the beatiful new waterfront walkway. I discovered this from the model and renderings on the architect website. This project will be great!

I've just learned that the water feature at waterfront pearl will be a total of three acres!

I still love the Wyatt and dislike 937 (although it is slowly growing on me)...I feel wrong about it though. Like urban trash or something, oh well...

I'm curious, the original plans were for four towers with the huge water feature between towers 2 and 3. Have they given up on the Albers Mill parking lot (owned by the 'other' half of the NAITO family) and the other two towers that were to be built on it?

What floor are they currently at on the two buildings of waterfront pearl?

der Reisender · #26 Posted **Apr 22, 2007, 1:15 AM**

i think the waterfront pearl buildings are at about 7 and 5 floors, respectively. that is an estimation though, taken from a Trimet bus, so don't hold me to it

also to add further, it appeared that the crane for the Lovejoy blocks was being assembled, but i only caught it from a distance so am not completely sure. anyone know?

I took these photos on Mon 24Sep07. Construction workers are installing glass on the northeast corner and the center of the western side. You can see the Azure building to the south of the Mistral building.

Yep, they're topped out, aren't they?

I wonder what Naito Pkwy is going to be like once this section of the road gets developed.

MarkDaMan · #32 Posted **Sep 27, 2007, 2:59 PM**

any word on the other two Waterfront Pearl towers? I'd love to see them built as apartments. I was ticked off when I almost got a place at McCormicks pier a few years ago, only to be told they were going condos in less than a year. Always wanted to live right on the river though!

Twin 10 story condominium towers located at 1300 NW Naito Parkway Portland, Or developed by Pemcor Investment Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia, and Grancorp Inc. of Seattle. The architect is Soren Rasmussen. Extensive water features and landscaping will be incorporated into the design.(1)

Mistral (north) 97 units ranging in size from 900 ft^2 to 2000 ft ^2

Photos that I took of the Waterfront Pearl buildings on 08Oct07 and 09Oct07
Notice the installation of the cladding on the Mistral building. The suface resembles concrete with a smaller aggregate.

I guess it's obvious from the above photos, but the crane for the mistral came down sometime last week.

still very hard to see how these buildings are shaping up with all the scaffolding and green insulation/tyvex type stuff all over.

Nice photo

How long of an exposure did you use? It is refreshingly different.

Dougall5505 · #38 Posted **Oct 12, 2007, 2:37 AM**

I found it on flickr check out the guy's picture here: http://flickr.com/photos/photoinference/

I took these photos that comprise the panoramic image at about 1630 on Wed 31Oct07 in Portland, Or. I wish I would have had time to take these at sunrise on one of the numerous sunny days that just occurred. The Mistral is to the far right and the Azure is partially obscured by a tower. The Broadway bridge is located at the left of the image.

I was driving on Interstate yesterday evening. There is an amazing vantage of the Waterfront Pearl and downtown from the area where they tore down the red lion. It would be a perfect place for housing
