PDC Seeks Proposals For New Hotel/Residential
Development At RiverPlace
^C om pletion is expected in
summer 1999
The Portland Development
Commission (PDC) announced
the availability of a development
site in the RiverPlace Project for
a new hotel and residential de
velopment project. A Request
for Proposals.(RFP) will be is
sued for a mixed-use develop
ment that will complement exist
ing developm ent w ithin the
RiverPlace project area as well
as future residential and com
mercial development proposed
for the North Macadam district
to the south. The 2.37 acre-site,
referred to as Parcel 1, lies north
west of the PG&E Gas Transmis-
sion-Northwest headquarters and
is currently bounded by SW River
Parkway and the planned Water
front Park extension currently un
der construction. It is the site of
the former Pacific Power and
Light steam plant.
The Commission is seeking the
development of a full service 80
to 130 room hotel combined with
at least 150 condom inium s.
PDC’s minimum goal is that ten
percent of the units be afford
able to households earning be
tween 80% and 120% of median
family income, however, the
Commission encourages propos
als which reach a goal of twenty
percent of units to be affordable
within this range.
The RiverPlace project was
ì Î W
"r-s
'
í
first begun nearly 20 years ago
when the Planning Commission
and City Council adopted PDC’s
South Waterfront Development
Program.
>
Between the years of 1980 and
1983 the M arina basin was
dredged, utility relocation and
street construction work were
completed and the Waterfront
Park E xtension from the
Hawthorne Bridge to Montgom
ery Street was underway.
Today the total RiverPlace de
velopment provides 490 housing
units and p rovides jo b s in
220,000 sq. ft. of office, 29,000
sq. ft. of restaurants and retail,
Downtown Portland’s only ma
rina and the first class Riverplace
Hotel.
