I wonder how much longer it'll be before the building on the eastern side of the block gets torn down or rehabbed.

A six-story Hyatt House hotel could begin rising on one of the last developable lots in Portland’s South Waterfront District as soon as next year.

The Portland Development Commission is entering final negotiations with developers Jack Onder, Dike Dame and Homer Williams for a $5.25 million sale of a PDC-owned property known as Parcel 8.

The runner-up proposal, also a hotel, came from another team of prominent Portland developers. Bob Naito and Jim Winkler submitted a $62 million proposal that called for a 312-room, dual-branded Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites.
