The Living Smart Project
The Living Smart Project The City of Portland has witnessed growth in the popularity of affordable homes built on the small in-fill lots. In a number of neighborhoods, where the typical development occurred on 5,000 square foot lots, the underlying historic plat and zoning regulations allowed in-fill development on 25-foot wide by 100-foot deep parcels. Built on these narrow lots, 15-foot wide houses have become important in meeting the City’s need for entry-level single-family homes.
The Living Smart Project arose from growing neighborhood opposition to in-fill development that appeared out of scale with the surrounding neighborhood and triggered the demolition of existing houses.

Southwest/Southeast Projects

2121 Belmont Belmont Street is most vibrant amid the bars and shops and restaurants that line the street in the Southeast 30s. On Southeast Morrison Street, a pocket of city life teems closer to the Willamette River, in the corridor that starts around Southeast 15th Avenue.
With 2121 Belmont, the 123-unit condo project under construction on a 300-foot stretch of land between Belmont and Morrison streets, developers say they’re bridging a connection between the two vibes.
And it’s a spot developers say people will pay bigger prices to live in – and they’re stepping out on a ledge with their one- and two-bedroom condos, which will run between $260,000 and $550,000.
The development is one of the first upscale projects to hit the neighborhood. The project, a joint venture between Williams & Dame Development and Reliance Development, plants a series of four- and five-story buildings bordered by outdoor living spaces.
