 The Westerly

The Westerly  Despite strong opposition by the Northwest District Neighborhood Association, the Portland City Council approved developer Jack Onder's The Westerly Condominiums on May 18, 2005.  The vote paved the way for the controversial 14-story tower and four-story row of townhouses at Northwest 24th Place and Westover Road to be built across the street from the Alphabet Historic District.

The neighborhood believed the building to be out of scale with the mostly three-story buildings across the street.  It took 18-19 months to go through the review process.  A condo tower proposed by developer by Jack Under has stirred concern that the tower would block views for residents of the converted apartments. The Northwest District Neighborhood Association has appealed other city decisions to the state Land Use Board of Appeals and beyond.

 Sales Update:  April, 2008 

The Westerly has pre-sold 40 percent of its units out of a total of 104 units.  About 60 units remain unsold.

Location  In the Northwest District at NW 24th Place and NW Westover Road.  This is just off West Burnside.  See Map of Northwest District.
Developer  Jack Onder teams with Williams & Dame.  Onder is also developing the Strand at RiverPlace along with Homer Williams.
Construction  New construction.
Number of Units  14 stories with 104 units.  It may also include some 4-story townhomes.
Style  Unknown as of May 24, 2005.

Tax Abatement Condos

Many of the condo developments offer tax abatements.  Homeowners still pay taxes on the land and any increases in value allowed under Measure 50 (limits to percent the annual increase in assessed home values).  Tax abatements can take many different forms such as:

  • Historic (i.e., property is on the National Register of Historic Places)

  • Special assessment tax breaks on properties near transit centers (i.e., light rail stations)

  • Special assessment tax break in areas where the city wants to encourage residential development

  • Developments designed for first-time or low-income buyers

There's even a program to buy a run-down property, get the taxes frozen at the property's as-is value, fix it up and enjoy the saving.  Visit these Web site to learn more:

Condos in the downtown area offering tax abatements are as follows;  Cornerstone Condos (1134 SW Jefferson Street), Marshall-Wells Lofts (1420 NW Lovejoy Street), The Avenue Lofts (1400 NW Irving Street), The Embassy (2015 NW Flanders Street), and Chown Pella Lofts (416 NW 13th Avenue).
