Design Commission reviews plans for sizable property
A superblock development proposed to replace the former PepsiCo bottling facility along Sandy Boulevard met a generally positive reception from the Portland Design Commission.
The project is in the early stages of development, but the team on Thursday presented the site plan, massing and circulation for the four-block property, which is owned by Security Properties of Seattle.
The 4.7-acre site would have a public plaza on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, a pedestrian- and bicyclist-friendly woonerf providing an east-west connection and a private park available to residents near the center.
Housing dominates the development plan, with 335 units expected. A portion of the housing units will be affordable, and John Marasco, Security Properties’ chief development officer, suggested in a recent interview that the affordable housing would be built in the first phase. The development would eventually accommodate approximately 1,000 residents, changing what was an industrial property into a largely residential area.
