It's no worse than those horrible suburban apartments across the street between Pettygrove and Quimby. The only grass in the city should be in parks and sports stadiums.

Ugh, I'd say it's worse, and I loathe those townhomes across the street. This is one situation where I agree with the nimbys in the nwda.

Yeah, i should have added a "just to begin with" to the end of that last post of mine.

NW Portland apartments to begin construction

A project to build an apartment complex in Northwest Portland is an opportunity for subcontract work.

Portland-based Pavilion Construction is set to begin work in September on a new six-story, 90-unit apartment complex at the former Dove Lewis Animal Hospital building on the corner of Northwest 20th Avenue and Pettygrove Street.

“We’ve spent the past several months going through a few renditions of the exterior,” said Tom Sheridan, estimating and purchasing manager with Pavilion. “But both the planning commission and neighborhood association have now signed off on it, and we are ready to move forward.”

As Lake Oswego developer Phase Two Development finishes securing financing for the project, Pavilion Construction is looking for subcontractors. Pavilion has a request for sub and vendor bids with the Daily Journal of Commerce Project Center (subscription required) for all aspects of the project. Bids are due Aug. 5 by 4 p.m.

The 90 apartment units will be on the second through sixth floors, with a mix of studio spaces and one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. A 21-space parking garage, lobby, rental office and 1,100-square-foot retail space will be located on the ground level.

oh ya whoops, lol, looks like its.. 66' 11"

this was originally appealed by the neighborhood association due to lack of ground floor activity - other than the lobby it would have just had a garage on the ground floor (as far as i remember). at the time, the opinion on these forums was pretty strongly against this building, due to the first floor. it sounds like they've taken some steps to address the issue, since there will be one retail space as well as a leasing office. so i suppose this is good news. in any case, it'll be better than the fenced off vacant lot we have there now.

I've been wondering what was going on with the old Dove Lewis space and I completely forgot about this building. It's good to read that it's progressing.

What is diagonally across the street from it? I'm asking about the long building with garage door after garage door? It's on a double length block that's also two blocks deep since Quimby doesn't go through that block (what the heck?)

Looks sorta like Sitka Apartments in the Pearl.

It was a trucking center for Consolidated Freightways. The parent of which was CNF now Con-way. So that is part of the acres upon acres of parking around the Con-way buildings. They are really hoping to redevelop and integrate into the neighborhood, but the recession hit.

2oh1 · #**113** Posted: **Jul 30, 2010, 9:22 PM**

OH! I had no idea that was part of the Con-way property. That's 4 blocks worth of potentially prime real estate, especially since it's just one chunk of land without any city streets running through it. [two double-blocks, really]

I mistakenly assumed all of the Con-way land was connected.

bvpcvm · #**114** Posted: **Jul 30, 2010, 10:57 PM**

the good news is that all that con-way property is part of the new downtown urban renewal district!

You're not mistaken.... it is all connected. It covers a huge area of NW.

2oh1 · #**116** Posted: **Jul 31, 2010, 8:44 PM**

Is there a map somewhere that shows where the boundaries of the property are? I thought this was part of the Con-way property, but it doesn't look connected to the garage doors building I asked about before.

65MAX · #**117** Posted: **Aug 1, 2010, 2:06 AM**

Conway doesn't own that building. If you have a question about who owns what properties, just type the address into PortlandMaps. The assessor's info will tell you who the owner is. I'm sure somebody has a map of Conway properties, but I couldn't tell you where you'd find it.

For some reason the googlemap link wouldn't open when I originally posted that. I thought you were talking about the on between 20th and 21st between Quimby and Savier. LOTS of garage doors! lol! Sorry.

From the Oregonian

Con-way, the freight company in Northwest Portland, has filed preliminary plans to build apartments on excess land it owns along Northwest 23rd Avenue.

Con-way is the most prominent property owner included in the city's potential new downtown urban renewal district. The company owns 20 excess acres -- mostly parking lots -- around its offices near the on-ramp to the Fremont Bridge. According to the city's proposed urban renewal district boundaries, the project at 2244 N.W. Savier St. would not be included in the new district. Other Con-way properties are included within the proposed boundaries.

Con-way has been working for years on plans to redevelop the land, but the preliminary plans filed with the city mark the company's most serious move yet to develop the land.

The plans, filed by SERA Architects of Portland, show two four-story apartment buildings that straddle Savier Street along Northwest 23rd Avenue. The project includes 179 apartments split between the two buildings, 130 below-grade parking stalls and ground-floor retail shops along 23rd Avenue.

I'll happily raise a toast (with a pint of Lompoc Strong Draft) to this project! ...although it's sure to add more foot traffic to one of my favorite pubs. Cheers to the death of a surface parking lot!
