Can anyone tell me what's going in at SE 23rd and Belmont?

I'm going to bury this in infill--because it is infill--and because it's not an announcement yet. I heard from a real estate insider that Skylab is teaming with a national developer and another architect to possibly design a 35-story condo/apartment tower on the U-Park that's directly behind the Crystal Ballroom--directly across from the new ZGF tower. Anyone know anything?

Now that, is one freakin' ugly building. It looks like a bad 60's project.

How can you tell from that photo?

Actually, I like it. I'm not sure I like that funny angle of the roof towards the back, though ...

I kind of like it, too. Maybe even the angle.

Trying to picture where that is exactly...

Sorry, I think it looks like it belongs in a business park in Tualatin. Here's the link to the hearing

If I've screwed up linking it, it is under Portland Online/bureau of devel services/public notices/old town...

Just north of the Steele Bridge, that vacant sliver between Naito and the RR tracks. That's why there's the funny angle in the back.

Are you talking about the lot behind the Eagle on the same block as the Crystal? Because there was a sign up on the side of the Eagle showing a rendering for a 2 story building on the lot.

Skylab designing a 35 story tower would be amazing.

PDX City-State · #**391** Posted: **Jun 6, 2007, 7:19 PM**

I take it no one read my comment--right before the rendering.

zilfondel · #**392** Posted: **Jun 6, 2007, 8:05 PM**

^ that Naito project is (I believe) going to be located on the triangle lot just north of the Steel Bridge. Thus, the triangular-shaped roofline. And I think it will fit in well with the Yards at Union Station.

A skylab tower? Hmm, that sounds very intriguing.. but don't they just mainly do retail spaces? I think the Doug Fir is the largest project they've done so far, right?

If the U-park goes down so does EM... 35 stories huh?... 350-400 feet would be a nice juxtaposed tower for the brewery blocks area.

PacificNW · #**395** Posted: **Jun 7, 2007, 12:11 AM**

I wonder if they are talking about that multi-level parking structure on the north side of Burnside as the U Park or some other parking facility...

I interviewed at Skylab not long ago and overheard a meeting Jeff Kovel was having while waiting in the lobby. He was with two other men speaking about a condo tower they were designing but I didn't hear anything juicy. Guess it's for real?!
