However, details are being changed because of unexpected costs, and it's unclear whether that size will change.

Maybe they can just cover the whole thing in vinyl siding?

Here is a timelapse video of the first crane going up for the new building. Filmed over 3 days. Enjoy!

Awesome pics of Moody, philopdx! They did a great job on that street. Lots of room! They thought of everything.

Cool video!

It's so great to finally see some big cranes in the skyline again. Just feels good.

Zidell: So. Waterfront clean-up complete
Portland Business Journal by Andy Giegerich , Business Journal staff writer
Date: Monday, December 12, 2011, 1:27pm PST

The key private property owner in the city’s South Waterfront district will report this week that clean-up of a brownfield site near Oregon Health & Science University has been completed.

Jay Zidell, president of ZRZ Realty Company and part of the family that owns the marine service company just north of OHSU, will tell Portland’s City Council that the $20 million project has resulted in a cleaner 30-acre site. The efforts took 15 years and marked the “largest privately conducted and privately funded cleanup on the Willamette River,” according to Len Bergstein, a consultant who’s working with Zidell.

All told, the project includes:

About 2,700 linear feet of cleaned river bank.
Two-and-a-half acres of removed invasive vegetation.
Some 15,000 newly planted shrubs and 212 new trees.

Zidell will present specifics of his company’s efforts at the Wednesday afternoon city council meeting. He’s scheduled to speak at 2:45 p.m. at Portland’s City Hall, 1221 S.W. Fourth Ave.

Andy Giegerich covers government, law, health care and sports business.

That is great news and we should look forward to what plans they have for the land before the city decides for them. It will certainly be a milestone in the history of this area.

Beautifully done.

Update from 12-18-2011: They have laid the next segment!

zilfondel · #**1492** Posted **Dec 23, 2011, 9:26 PM**

This is a lot more interesting than I thought it would be from the old renderings. Can't wait until it opens - hopefully people in these neighborhoods will start to take advantage of it!

Anyone notice this post on bikeportland about the new OHSU building's bike facilities?

Looks pretty awesome.

FINALLY we are getting some more food/retail in the South Waterfront. After years of being vacant, one of the ground floor spots in The Ardea will soon be a Little Big Burger, an exteremely popular (and aggressively expanding) burger chain.

From PDX Eater, "According to the real estate blog (reps from Urban Works helped broker the deal), the location is scheduled to open in spring of this year."

We can't wait for Little Big Burger! It is great the something is happening on the retail front, not to mention it is a very popular burger place right now.

There was also news of a new salon moving in to South Waterfront. Their website is located at www.oranjstudio.com. It looks like there was a fire at their current location. Good excuse to move!
