The houses at 4335 SE Belmont have all been razed.

I wonder if the 2548 SE Ankeny St project includes the gravel parking lot next door to the single story building, or just the building and its yard. I noticed a few weeks ago that there are little stakes marking out the corners of that gravel lot and wondered what was up.

Homer Williams hands mixed-use project in Lents over to PDC



One of three new projects designed to inject new life into the Lents neighborhood will move forward without the assistance of powerhouse developer Wiliams/Dame Associates.

The project, a 54-unit mixed-use project at Southeast Foster Road and Southeast 92nd Avenue, will instead be ushered along and ultimately owned by the Portland Development Commission.

Led by Homer Williams, WDA originally conjured up the project in response to a request for interest from PDC in 2014. It ended up being one of three projects selected by PDC for development in the neighborhood. PDC approved a $6.2 million redevelopment loan for the project, and the Portland Housing Bureau has also committed more than $1.1 million to help make 16 of the 54 units affordable housing.

I wonder why they backed out? Not enough money in it for them?

Portland Development Commission to own market-rate apartments



Portland's urban renewal agency is about to enter the apartment business.

The Portland Development Commission plans to resurrect a project in Lents that caters mostly to residents who can afford market-rate rents. It's set to build and own the project after Williams/Dame & Associates – one of the city's most prominent firms – quietly decided to back out a year after proposing it.

"This project has to happen, as far as we're concerned," said Patrick Quinton, the development commission's executive director. "We're willing to step in to make sure it happens."

If approved, the 54-unit apartment project would be a first for the agency, representing the latest entrepreneurial business move by city officials worried about the long-term financial future of the development commission. Urban renewal revenues are projected to dry up after 2025 unless the City Council approved new districts.

Now, if they'd only do something with the SE corner of the block, which is still a parking lot. And the west half of the block, which is a stalled housing project thats been sitting at the "almost ready to pour concrete foundations" stage since early 2014. According to this pdf, they have 21 small townhomes planned for the half-block site, which is owned by the same company that developed Relish and this new retail building - "Claybourne Commons LLC."


Aaah, found this tidbit on facebook:











You can tell that not much news happens down here in Sellwood.

Does anyone have any info on the status of Waechter's Claybourne Commons project? The site has been dormant for months and months. Recently they installed some landscaping. Any info would be much appreciated...

Prime Boys & Girls Clubs property sold in Westmoreland, mixed-use development on the way



As expected when it hit the market late last year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland Metro's Westmoreland property has fetched a pretty penny and will likely be developed into a mixed-use project with apartments and retail.

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. announced today that Portland's NBP Capital has purchased the 1.21-acre site at 7119 S.E. Milwaukie Ave. for $8.8 million. NBP, which owns nearly 3,000 apartments and a half-million square feet of commercial property, has been active in recent times, including buying the Mint Urban RiverPlace apartments i n Portland and teaming up with Provenance Hotels on several hospitality projects.

Exclusive: 64 apartments coming to a long-dormant corner of Southeast Portland



For years, a lone, drab building sat closed-up and empty at the northwest corner of the intersection of Southeast 52nd Avenue and Southeast Holgate Boulevard. A "No Graffiti" sign hung on the south face of it, often surrounded by various spray-painted tags.

As of just a few weeks ago, that building is no more. And in just about a month, that long quiet corner will begin its next chapter when ground breaks on the Lenox Addition Apartments, a four-story, 64-unit apartment building that will rise from the lot.

The project comes from a development team comprised of three different investment LLCs. Erik Opsahl, managing member of Rainier Pacific, which will be the contractor on the project, said the development is a unique one for the neighborhood in a few different ways.

That looks good, I am amazed at how fast the whole Foster-Powell and surrounding areas are redeveloping. At the rate we are going with Portland, there is gonna be a need for some new neighborhood names for these new urban districts that are popping up between and in larger old neighborhoods.

Don't you think that new names would just drive prices up even more. Manhattan had a similar experiment before they actually tried to get smart about it. If a new project is in a shady part of an old neighborhood, it's the new face of that neighborhood. A new chapter. No need to disown the past in this case. Sure from a developers perspective, there's a million plus reasons to consider the change. Just sayin'.....
