Proposed development to include 5 levels of new residential units, inclusive of interior amenities, above ground floor use as intended to be a grocery, surface level and below-grade/subterranean parking to be included as a supportive function of the grocery and residential uses. All loading and maneuvering associated with loading to be handled on site and within the parameters of the site.

The site is opposite the Alberta Commons, which is anchored by Natural Grocers. The development was originally going to include Trader Joe's, but they pulled out after the development became a symbol of the gentrification of N/NE Portland.
I assume they have a tenant in mind, and I'm curious who it is. Trader Joe's has been expanding in the region a lot, but I'd be very surprised if they want to try that specific intersection again. The only other retailer I can think of that is expanding, and doesn't have a nearby store, is Market of Choice.
