This is about a whole bunch of projects, but has the most new information about Eleven West so I'm posting it here:

Goodmans have projects aplenty in progress
In the past few years, a growing influx of new tech workers and residents has helped transform the city of Portland.
This population growth and demographic change has, in part, allowed the Goodman family and its Downtown Development Group to begin to put into action a series of development moves, including its ambitious Ankeny Blocks plan. It calls for 11 new buildings, including five high-rises, on downtown properties near the Willamette River between Washington and Burnside streets. One of the first projects is 230 Ash – a modest, six-story mixed-use building, but much more is planned by Downtown Development Group – one of the oldest development firms in Portland.
For instance, preliminary plans have been formed for Downtown Development Group to work with a local, unidentified engineering firm on a net-zero building at the intersection of Southwest First Avenue and Pine Street.
“It will be like the Bullitt Center in Seattle,” Downtown Development Group co-President Gregory Goodman said, referring to the commercial building that opened in 2013 and was certified as a “living building” by the International Living Future Institute. The six-story, 52,000-square-foot structure uses solar panels and other green features to produce more electricity than it uses over the course of a calendar year.
