2019 was the fifth full year that Next Portland has been in operation. Over the course of the year 145 articles were published.
In contrast to 2017 and 2018, the most popular articles of the year were generally ones published this year. The lone article in the list published before 2018 was about Eleven West, which was approved in 2017 but only recently submitted for permit.
Four of the most popular post were about high rise towers: Block 216; Eleven West, Toyoko Inn; the Hyatt Place and Allison Residences; and the Holden of Pearl. Two posts in the list were about large site master plans, the Broadway Corridor and OMSI Masterplan.

Thanks for running this blog. It’s one of the best in town!
Thanks, Iain! I think your publication is of the best sources for Portland development available. I’m looking forward to your 2020 posts. I’d like to see you cover RIP this year, because I think it’s going to be a potential game-changer. It’s my understanding that you don’t address small-scale residential development though, but make you could make an exception? Finally, I referred a co-worker to your site the other day and will continue to refer others.
Thanks for running this blog! Love to keep track of what’s going on in Portland
