Portland Proper Hotel | 132' | 9 Floors | Dead

I thought we had a thread for this, but I can't find it. Anyway, on the Design Commission agenda for September 19th:

Quote:
DAR for a proposed 9-story, 131’ tall hotel with one floor of below grade parking and rooftop amenity space. One Adjustment to loading is proposed, to reduce the loading requirement from two on-site Standard A spaces to one Standard A.
IDK if this is a current rendering or not:

Very nice rendering, here's hoping that it is current. I'm assuming that this will not require any HLC sign-off.

Interesting that this is a Homer Williams/EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program project. There is a due diligence report available here.

The website says that it is going to be U/C this year and open in 2021, which seems ambitious.

Digging deeper, here's an article on the Proper hotel group:

And a second rendering:

**edit** it's huge, sorry. You can view it here, though.

Nationally, hotel occupancy is falling. Maybe Portland is exceptional.

Portland sits in the not enough hotel rooms category. We are seeing a number of new hotels being built here because of all the new interest in Portland as it becomes a big city and the demand for rooms continues to grow. It will eventually plateau for a while, but we are definitely seeing the city move into the next level for hotels which would put us more in line with Seattle.


This will be a huge improvement with what is there now. With all these new hotels popping up in the Pearl, the Pearl really feels like an urban extension of downtown now rather than just a redeveloping neighborhood north of downtown.

Posting Notice. Definitely a big change away from what's shown in the rendering above.

This would be a very disappointing design proposal under any circumstances, but having been tantalized by the earlier rendering, most folks will not be pleased with this bulky and unimaginative hulk.

Well that is quite a downgrade from the initial design....if this brick version gets built, it will be pretty generic and hopefully just blends into its surroundings.

It at least looked better without those ridiculous arches. It could blend in, but now,

Pearl District project moving toward approval



The design of the proposed Portland Proper hotel is on the right track, but a few details need to be worked out.

That was the gist of the advice delivered by the Portland Design Commission Thursday to the ZGF Architects team making its initial presentation for a nine-story, 170,000-square-foot building in the Pearl District.

“You still have some work to do in terms of coherency,” Commissioner Zari Santner said. “But in my view you’re 75 percent there, so you can get there pretty soon.”

The hotel project is being developed by Proper Hospitality, which operates luxury hotels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Monica, California, and Austin, Texas. Proper Hospitality is an offshoot of LA-based The Kor Group.

Portland Proper will be built on a half-block site fronting Northwest Irving Street and stretching between Northwest 12th and 13th avenues. Along with hospitality space, it will have a ground-floor lobby and back-of-house spaces. There will also be rooftop amenity spaces and an eco-roof, along with one story of below-grade valet parking.
...continues at the DJC (temporarily unlocked).

The base looks hideous.

So does the incoherent top floor.

This lot SCREAMS for a strikingly modern building that respects the warehouse/train loading docks on 13th. It could be a Pearl District show stopper. This is just fake and weird.

While I'm certainly not thrilled with this - would much prefer the contemporary architecture as per the initial rendering - I'm fine with this general direction, as the design absolutely fits with the nouveau-historic expression of many new buildings in the Pearl, particularly south of Lovejoy. Pearl West and The Dianne are recent examples. Also, though not in the Pearl, the Hoxton Hotel on Burnside - of which this almost appears to be a larger version - is also a good point of reference. These were all roundly praised by most on this forum I believe.

For me, the lot that should (in your words) be a show-stopper is the proposed 250' tower at 12th & Flanders. This is where the opportunity for an outstanding piece of contemporary architecture lies, but where to this point the solution is uninspired and formulaic to say the least.

I skimmed but took away that the building is fine (after a few refinements from the previous drawings), just needs work with BES and PBOT on a few issues?
