Condominium Communities

Loft like cnodos in a central location with amazing view of PGE park, downtown and west hills, lobby concierge service

Historic Old Portland hotel converted into beautifully crafted condos in the heart of the cultural district. Many of these light-filled units have gorgeous built-in bookshelves, crown molding and beautiful hardwood floors to create a comfortable and warm urban atmosphere.

Three towers of 18, 20 and 22 stories built in 1975. Each tower is named after a president- Madison, Lincoln and Grant. The buildings offer many amenities including indoor pool facilities, fitness room, sauna, meeting areas, 24 hour security service and parking. Some of the units have been updated with newer appliances and finishes but some are still in their original form. There are a vast number of units with beautiful unobstructed views of the river and downtown.

This glass exterior condo tower stands out in its neighborhood of historic buildings and old style churches in the South Park blocks. The views of the city and river become more and more striking and breathtaking from each floor up to the 20th level.

In 2006 the 18 story, glass faced Eliot Tower opened in the “Cultural District” of downtown Portland offering 223 homes – a mix of condos, lofts, townhomes and penthouses. The appeal here is to be near the Park Blocks, the downtown offices and shopping areas, the Portland Art Museum, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, and yes, Safeway! The building offers a fitness facility, a library/meeting room for homeowners, a roof terrace and the usual ground floor retail and restaurants. Developed by Carroll Aspen, mostly known for residential buildings in The Pearl District, this one is not named for one of the Carroll children, but rather for a Portland “father,” Thomas Lamb Eliot.

Portland’s newest and largest condominium conversion located on the streetcar line south of downtown. A collection of three towers with a good mix of city life, neighborhood character and contemporary living spaces. These updated units offer sweeping views of the city, river and mountains. Two of the three towers have been completed and the third is now selling and scheduled for completion by the end of 2007.

Perched atop the hustle and bustle of the media business culture in the Koin tower are high style and sophisticated penthouse condominiums with big killer views of the cityscape. One of the first buildings in Portland with a concierge service, each unit was custom designed by the owner. Many of the owners that originally purchased when the building was done in 1980 are still living there so these units rarely come on the market.

This building has a distinct façade created by its large circular windows in most of the units. Originally built in 1973 with a long list of amenities including pool facilities, fitness room, library/ sitting room, gardened terraces, 24 hour concierge service with a circular drive-up to the front door. Some units have been updated and some are in their original form.

Gorgeous art deco design with hints of its original design in the crown molding, original wood flooring and cabinetry. Located in the young and vibrant Goose Hollow district where it’s a short stroll in PGE Park, the Mac Club and hip cafes.

Innovative “Dwell Cool” architecture distinguishes this niche project of townhomes and condominiums. Nestled into the hillside with views of the city horizon and the Willamette River, Sophia’s View is an intimate, personal neighborhood designed for modern and sophisticated urbanites.

This building was one of the first to take advantage of the floor area ratio (FAR) bonus provided by the City for installing an eco-roof. Sassy modern finishes with an artistic edge. Located in the south park blocks with easy access to the street car and the cultural district.

Originally the Roosevelt Hotel built in 1926, this building was converted into condos in 2001. Because this building was historically renovated, the property taxes are frozen until 2013. Just steps away from the cultural Mecca of Portland with the art museum, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and the Park blocks.

A nicely done condo conversion from 2000 with upgrades throughout the interior and exterior of the building. The south park blocks offer an urban oasis which allows for a wonderful park neighborhood feel just steps away from the downtown district, PSU and multiple Starbucks and museums. If you want to be in the thick of the downtown activity with a park-like atmosphere, 1500 SW Park Avenue is the place to be!

An architectural vision led by fractal patterns as found in nature is the inspiration for the design of this new condominium currently under construction in The Pearl District and ready for occupancy in October of 2008.

The Casey is the latest Brewery Blocks project from Gerding/Edlen Development. Designed by GBD Architects, it is Gerding/Edlen’s intent with The Casey to raise the bar of design, elegance and social responsibility. Finish selections are inspired, according to Mark Edlen, from his travels in Europe incorporating the highest quality while maintaining the commitment to sustainability. Each floor of the Casey displays samples of glass art from the nearby Bullseye Gallery and the exterior is adorned with numerous glass art panels – each entirely unique – backlit for special brilliance. Overall, The Casey offers typically larger home sizes, lovely luxury appointments, concierge service, views and the killer location at 12th and Everett.

Converted from the old Chown Pella warehouse, this loft building is a historical mixed-use residential and retail building at 13th and Glisan in Portland’s Pearl District.

The interiors have exposed brick and timber details and some units have air-conditioning or terraces.

One of the early warehouse conversions of The Pearl District, this intimate building offers 13 multi-level homes with open-tread staircases and soaring ceilings.

Sixteen stories tall in a quiet part of The Pearl is The Elizabeth.

The park is also soon to come and is called “The Fields.” It is a 3-acre recreation and reflection landscape with themed gardens and children’s activity area.

With a distinctive “Art Deco” silhouette, The Gregory was one of the first Pearl District buildings to go “vertical”! Loft style homes typical of the Carroll Aspen as developer and Ankrom Moisan as architects in the very heart of The Pearl. Not all units have terraces, but there is a rooftop terrace for homeowner use.

The Henry was named to honor the founder of the original Brewery Blocks, Henry Weinhard, as is the first high-rise condominium to be built by Gerding/Edlen Development. Gerding/Edlen has gone on to become one of Portland’s most highly recognized condominium developers and The Henry has come to be known as one of Portland’s best addresses! It is contemporary and sophisticated building with Leed Certification – one of the first condo towers in Portland to be built “green” and “sustainable” while offering upscale ammeities such as concierge service at the same time. The Henry was the first condo tower in Portland to be completely sold out months before completion and it continues to prove its value with strong demand for the resale homes. Located at NW 10th and Couch, this building is in the heart of the Brewery Blocks of The Pearl District with Powell’s Books, Whole Foods, the Gerding Theater at The Armory, numerous national and local retailers and fine or casual dining just steps away.

The Marshall Wells was originally a warehouse built in 1910. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and then converted to 164 residential lofts in 2001. Developed by Robert Ball, the building not incorporates a 4500SF landscaped atrium in its center, provided “outside” environments to interior units. The units have high ceilings, walls of windows and, to me, the most distinctive feature is the fabulous old timbers and new cork floors that give this “warehouse” a warmth and richness that is unique.

The McKenzie Lofts may look like an old warehouse, but the building was actually constructed as new residential lofts in 1998. It is 6 stories with 68 homes and 9 commercial spaces. All the homes have balconies or terraces, air-conditioning, 10 foot or higher ceilings and large walls of windows.

Adjacent to Jamison Park (and over one of my favorite restaurants, Fenoil) is Park Place – a 13 story tower and 3 story side building including condos, lofts, townhomes and penthouses. There are 36 different floor plans! There is concierge service and other community activities. The signature architectural feature of this building is the east facing column that protrudes all the way up the tower and offers unique perspectives on the city.

Hip and high tech, the Streetcar Lofts came to market originally in 2003 with the intent to be the state of the art in cool, youthful, urban design. Exposed concrete, high, open ceilings, edgy halogen lighting, open-tread steel staircases and industrial windows are some of the features that distinguish the style of this building. On the Streetcar Line, obviously, it also offers an interior garden courtyard, a fitness room, and a community activities room.
