The property sold last January. At the time a 130-year-old home was on the lot. Prior to demolishing the historic house, the new owner told The Oregonian that he was delaying the demolition in an effort “to be the good developer.”
The house was demolished in early 2014. A construction permit was filed in June, and approved in October.
The new construction will feature 23 residential units and one retail space on the ground floor. There will be no onsite automobile parking provided.
