Going to fire this thread up. All indications are this should start moving relatively soon. I'll add updated renderings as new ones are published.

Please post all project updates here:

Address: 114 E Portland Street
Height: 270'
Floors: 24

Holy hell, that's rad this is moving. It fills such a major vacant lot on the north side of Downtown and should make a big impact in the skyline.

What indications are those you mention? I didn't even really know or remember this one, and I'm still having a hard time keeping track of the others in northern downtown.

The area from Roosevelt to Hance Park East of Central to 3rd Street is going to be amazing as all those lots fill in.

Right - I too wonder what indicators exist...either way...this part of downtown should break the 20ish story height ceiling being further north and away from flight paths.

Hopefully the RFP renovations of the old fire station goes thru and the restaurant opens about the same time. will start cleaning up that side of the park. maybe they can get the fountains in front of the library operational again (try to keep homeless from bathing in them this time!)

There have been many permits issued including final site plan, commercial building and fire flow tests. These are usually a few of the last permits done before construction starts. Also, the tower crane app was approved a few days ago. Layton will be the GC, but doesn't have it listed on their projects page yet.

Also, when I say "relatively soon", I'm not meaning next week. More like in the next 2-4 months...which is soon in construction terms

Here's the tower crane app:

Good enough for government work, is call this basically a ground breaking.

Does anybody have any updates on this project? I would love to learn more about it.

Thank you!

[CrestedSaguaro]

I think everything on this thread is pretty much all we know. There have been some recent waterflow permits and what-not that are pulled prior to construction. So, it's getting closer to starting. I just don't know exactly when. But I'm guessing late-summer, early fall to hopefully see some movement.

I've been keeping an eye on it

Did this thing actually go anywhere? I'm trying to think of the last multifamily tower that's broken ground.

The Ray (Vela) was the last that broke ground. 2nd and Portland last pulled a permit on 8/13/24 for a water main abandonment and FAA apps were submitted for the building and crane apps around the same time. I'm closely watching this one. I'll report anything I see new.

Thank you, Ronnie!

[CrestedSaguaro]

Sorry all. I have been really busy the last couple months and have not been able to follow-up with any updates on projects. Hoping I will have time after the new year.

[michiche]

Hi Ronnie. I hope you are having a great New Year. Just checking in to see if you heard anything new on this project.

[Kelton]

I was wondering the same thing, I assumed the project would’ve broke ground by now. Maybe in the next wave of buildings?

[CrestedSaguaro]

I haven't seen any movement yet although I did see a few people in suits walking around the lot recently. My assumption is that the current economic climate is contributing to delays across various projects, including this one. Most of the necessary permits have already been obtained, so I still expect this project to move forward, but likely with some delays, much like many others we’re seeing at the moment.

However, I am sticking to my guns that this will be the next high-rise project to move.

Ronnie,

Have you heard anything new on this project?

Thanks!
