This affordable homeownership project consists of 30 family-sized units, is located near the Kenton neighborhood business district and local parks, and offers convenient access to light rail and bus lines connecting residents to the Rose Quarter and to downtown Portland.
All the homes are permanently affordable. This allows homeowners to continue building equity in their homes, while ensuring that the homes are affordable to the next buyers. The living units are energy-efficient and are targeting Earth Advantage Gold standards. A major design challenge was including 30 units on a small L-shaped site with two underlying base zones and subject to many design regulations. The design solution consists of two three-story buildings which was built in two phases. Additional floor area was gained by adding a partial fourth story to one building and providing an additional bedroom and bath for four living units. |
