Susan's Guide to New Housing Projects in Portland

 2121 Belmont  - The Beverly  -  The Clinton  -   Mississippi Avenue Lofts

 


Downtown Condo Projects - River Front Condo Projects

 

South Waterfront Condo Projects


 


As a service to our visitors, we have created this "Guide to New Housing Projects" page to help you track the development of new projects - mainly townhomes and condos.  You will be able to evaluate different building and purchase a home when the most choices are available (Preconstruction). Most of the projects listed below are located just outside of downtown Portland.

 Let me Help You Find the Right Home

I can help you with finding a new or existing homes in the Portland metro area.  If you're interested in in a new home, call me at (503) 497-2984 or e-mail me at Susan Marthens.

 List of Condos in the Portland Metro Area

Skyscrape has a very complete list of condos in the metro area.  You can view the list by clicking here.

SkyscraperPage.com's forum has been one of the most active skyscraper enthusiast communities on the Web. The global membership discusses development news and construction activity on projects from around the world, alongside discussions on urban design, architecture, transportation and many other topics.
 

 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

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.

 Sales Update:  April, 2008

The Oregonian reported that 2121 Belmont has been converted to apartments (rentals).  This is due to the slow sales of condos in the Portland metro area.

The Clinton Condominiums

The Clinton   Developer Randy Rapaport's is building a 4-story condominium building called "The Clinton" with 27 units.  It is located at SE Clinton and SE 26th Avenue.  This neighborhood has an abundance of services within walking distance of the Clinton.

This upscale, mixed-use development promises to be sleeker than his last project, the Belmont Lofts. The use of Core-10 steel and architectural glass on the exterior gives the four-story, 27-unit, mixed-use project a modern and unique look. The three ground-level retail spaces are already leased, and the entire project should be completed the summer of 2008.

Prices will run between $269,000 and low $500,000s.
