Looks like a nice hotel. Well thought out for the size.

GROWING UP TOGETHER



An interesting dialogue is occurring between two future buildings in the older, southeastern fringe of the Pearl District. This dialogue is both telling of the current state of design and of the recent development trends in Portland’s inner city. Two adjacent quarter block parcels along NW Glisan, from 9th to 10th Avenues, are being transformed from single story, single occupant tenants into two multistory mixed-use developments. The easterly building is the now-under construction Canopy Hotel, an 11-story boutique-style Hilton brand designed by ZGF Architects that features a ground floor restaurant and basement level amenities. The westerly building is the much-hyped and currently under design review Framework building from Lever Architecture (not to be confused by WPA’s Framework building across the river), a 12-story office and ‘workforce housing’ apartment venture with street level retail and a tall timber exhibit space. Both would be considered mid-rises by Portland standards, topping out at around 150 feet each, which, for reference, would make them around 50 feet shorter than the Holst designed 937 Condominiums across the street.
...continues at Places over Time.

Canopy by Hilton



I've been observing the construction of the Canopy Hotel at 9th and Glisan

So long Partners In Time/Garage






And I have a question for you guys... The auger has drilled holes for perimeter pilings..I expected the site to be excavated next - but what I find odd is they are drilling additional concrete filled holes at the locations marked by orange paint.

Today I asked a concrete worker at the site about this and he said those are deeper holes for support of the basement.

So why wouldn't they excavate and then add the "pilings" as needed... Seems odd and a waste of concrete to have to excavate soil that now has concrete columns placed throughout ... Any thoughts?

It is a lot easier to move the machinery around at ground level than it would be to get it in and out of a hole. The ramp length required to get the drill rig down to basement level would likely be too long for a site this large.

It's easier to cut the pile than move the machine. Additionally, since the concrete is in straight compression, it is likely not a super high PSI mixture. That would make it easier to remove.

That makes sense... thanks!

Excavation is complete:




I'm surprised how deep this hole is since this is only one basement level!

Those grey circles are concrete piles that were "injected" earlier:

Soil Mystery

So as I've been watching construction, I noticed something very odd...

So this is the plan for the basement:



In mid-November, a truck showed up (right side of photo) and disgorged soil in the "wrong" place; not where you'd expect the winter garden to be, according to the plans... I confirmed with a construction worker, this was soil being placed.







and decking for the first floor slab was placed over this soil!

So I don't know, maybe it is being stored there.. but I will have to wait til the Hotel opens to solve this mystery.





Main floor


Second floor decking 12/23/16
