Portland's own big box development...anyone see that oppressive IKEA sign...imagine if it were WalMart
anyway from the Daily Jounal of Commerce:
Myhre Group is designing a new Aloft hotel to be built at Cascade Station, near Portland International Airport.
The five-story, 68,000-square-foot hotel, when completed in December 2008, will be one of the first in Starwood Hotels and Resorts’ boutique Aloft line, part of W Hotels.
The design calls for wood on the ground level and stucco and metal paneling on the higher levels, all punched through with large windows. The rooftop curve is Starwood’s trademark “swoof,” which will be lit from below at night with more than 70 different colors. Rooms will be oversized and loft-like with nine-foot ceilings, and a pool, fitness center and bar will be included.
The Myhre Group design team includes Steve Pearson and Devin Follingstad.
