Architecture and Development in PDX
The Jefferson Street Flats are under construction in Goose Hollow. The project by Vallaster Corl architects for Mill Creek Residential Trust will include 134 residential units in a 5-7 story building. 121 car parking spaces and 150 long term bicycle spaces will be located in two levels of below grade parking. Amenity spaces for the residents will be located on the ground level facing SW Jefferson St, and on a 750 sq ft roof deck.
SERA Architects’ Modera Belmont is scheduled to receive Design Advice from the Design Commission. The 6-story mixed use building will include 204 residential units, 6 live/work units and ground floor retail. 105 car parking spaces are proposed in a below grade garage, with bike storage located in a common room accessed directly from the street.
The City Council will this week vote on whether to approve a re-zoning for the MAC Block 7 apartments. (EDIT: the council heard evidence, and decided to continue discussion on January 8th. No vote was taken.) The project is a multi-story building with up to 280 apartments and 420 parking spaces. The change from High Density Multi-Dwelling (RHd) to the Central Commercial (CXd) is required to allow 225 parking spaces to be used as commercial parking for the Multnomah Athletic Club. Commercial parking is not allowed in a residential zone. The project will also include 16 studio apartments for the short term use of MAC members and guests. These are classed as a Retail Sales and Service Use, and are also prohibited in a residential zone. The apartments and associated resident parking would be allowed in either zone. The developer is Mill Creek Residential Trust and the architects are Ankrom Moisan.
