Yeah something like that. I was going by at night and noticed a crane out of the corner of my eye.

It was only a matter of time. There is a proposal for a 5 story mixed use building to fill the south half of the block where New Seasons' is under construction on Williams. If every thing goes through that neighborhood is going to be unrecognizable when it is all done... which is not a bad thing. I've been biking past the same vacant lots for 10 years now.

But with three apartment buildings in the works in Northwest Portland, the family-owned company based in Vancouver is making a move into residential real estate. It plans to deliver more than 150 apartments in 2013, an effort to bring more diversity to the company's retail-heavy portfolio.

Obviously outside of the cool part of town, but another 5-story apt building is planned for 102nd, just south of Glisan. That area near the 102nd Ave MAX station has seen a lot of new density in the past few years, but it's still pretty auto-oriented.

That's not NW Portland.

still pissed about Lompoc, did they relocate to a different place over there? But good to see new buildings going up at that intersection rather than parking lots sitting there. I really can't wait to go back to Portland when the ConWay site is in full swing and they are in the middle of building a new neighborhood within a neighborhood.

^I think they are reopening a smaller pub in the new building when complete.

That is good to hear at least.

I'm sad about the New Old Lompoc too. That was one of my favorite pubs in the entire city.

Here's information about the New Old Lompoc copied and pasted from their website:

The New Old Lompoc on NW 23rd is now closed. With the demolition of the venerable New Old Lompoc brewery & pub on NW 23rd Avenue, many Portlanders have questioned where they’ll go for a new watering hole. Lompoc owner Jerry Fechter has good news: Lompoc Brewing has signed a lease in the new building and is looking to reopen in summer 2013.

“We shall return!” exclaimed Fechter. “Maybe not as dramatic as General McArthur, but we have signed a new lease on NW 23rd Ave. with developer CE John Company. The pub will be built in the exact same location on the block, only in the new building that is to replace our beloved pub.”

According to Fechter, Lompoc has been in discussion with developer CE John Company for the last several years about building a new pub when the old one comes down. CE John will start in May on a new LEED Gold four-story, mixed-use building on the block with retail on the first floor, 24 apartment units above, and a state-of-the-art mechanized parking system tucked behind the retail space. The boutique-scaled project will open next summer.

“We love this old building and all the character it has, but the time has come to upgrade,” said Fechter. “With the new pub, we will strive to create that great neighborhood pub vibe that we’ve been known for all these years.”

“We are thrilled to have Lompoc return to the new building and continue serving the neighborhood as they have for many years,” said Brian Greeley, Vice President of Leasing for CE John. “When you have the ability to keep a successful, local, beloved tenant on NW 23rd, you do what it takes to make that happen.”

The new space will be a pub only, with all brewing operations shifting to the Lompoc Brewery at 3901 N Williams Ave. Lompoc will lose its patio space in the back, but will gain a large outdoor patio in the front of the building, with a portion of it covered and heated.

“We’re actually very excited about being in a new, sustainably designed building and being a part of the many changes that are happening to the north end of 23rd Ave.,” stated Fechter.

The Old Lompoc Brewery (as it was originally known) has been producing handcrafted ales and lagers since December 1996, while the tavern has been open since 1993. The New Old Lompoc opened on May 6th, 2000, under the new ownership of Jerry Fechter and Don Younger.

The final date for the existing New Old Lompoc pub – being referred to as the Lompocalypse – was April 28, 2012.
History

The New Old Lompoc opened on May 6th, 2000. But the Old Lompoc Brewery (as it was formerly know) began producing handcrafted ales and lagers in December 1996, while the tavern has been open since 1993.

The name originally came from the movie ‘The Bank Dick’ starring W.C. Fields and Mae West. Most of the movie took place in the ‘Old Lompoc House’, which was the local watering hole as well as a boarding house.
