Making the most of every nook and cranny
These days in Portland, buildings are popping up everywhere.
For example, in the Central Eastside, at the junction of Southeast Stark Street and Water Avenue, a 10-story mixed-use building is being squeezed into an industrial space mere feet away from Interstate 5 to the west and Union Pacific railroad tracks to the east.
“You can see the close proximity of the building to the freeway,” Hoffman Construction Superintendent Mark Rado said during a walk around the site last week, pointing out how close workers were to passing vehicles. “The building itself is a little further away, but because we need a work deck, we’re even closer; you can see that Aluma deck there. That one is probably about 10 feet away, and that one up there is probably 15.”
The Harsch Investment Properties project started as an innovative parking solution, but evolved into one of the few Central Eastside work-space buildings to be constructed from the ground up. The building, known as “7 Southeast Stark,” will hold approximately 70,000 square feet of office space and 265 parking spaces for motor vehicles. Secured bike parking and a fitness center with locker rooms also will be included.
