We had some new/updated proposals for several large projects out this week. I've ordered them here based on how far along in the process they are...
CALHOUN TOWERS -- 26 (x2), 6 (x2), Floors, 279' -- APARTMENTS -- PROPOSED
This is a very large multi-phase project. The property is a huge site currently developed with a 22-story residential tower, a 2-story parking ramp, and a ton of open land. The site is immediately adjacent to the West Lake station on the proposed METRO Green Line extension, (hopefully) breaking ground next summer. The project would include the demolition of the existing parking ramp, and would retain the existing 22-story tower, add two new twin 26-story residential towers, two new 6-story buildings, and a parking ramp with liner townhomes, for a total of 857 units.

SR PORTLAND & WASHINGTON -- 22 Floors, 241' -- Apartments, Retail, Fire Station -- PROPOSED

THE EXPO MASTER PLAN -- PROPOSED
Doran is working on the redevelopment of three full blocks previously occupied by a General Mills R&D facility. A 26-story tower has already been approved for the first block, and has just recently broken ground (see my post above). They're now looking at long-term planning for the remaining two blocks, and are presenting 5 different proposals. The most intense includes one 30-story tower, one 26-story tower, and three 6-story buildings. I've copied an image of this option below. In the image below, the building on the left is the 42-story 200 Central project by Alatus, which is approved but not yet under construction. The next building to the right is the under-construction 26-story expo, and the two blocks to the right of that are the subject of the current proposal. The 4 other proposals (and render source) can be found here:
