Sounds like a preparation for eliminating the Lloyd District’s surface parking lots, as if they are trying to consolidate all parking into a single block.
The biggest Kaiser surface lot, 6th/7th/Multnomah/Wasco northeast of the Kaiser office tower, has about 108 spaces. The one just north of the office tower has like 80. The one east and southeast of the office tower has about 136 visible from the sky so probably about 200 total.
If all three of those were eliminated, this 700-space garage would offer a net gain of about 300 parking spaces for these four blocks. Obviously all four might not be eliminated at once.
Seems odd that GBD is designing high-rises downtown while ZGF is designing parking garages in the Lloyd District…
7400 SE Milwaukie already had construction work going on yesterday. The site was mostly cleared, and it looked like they were starting excavation work also.
