This property has been reported on by the Portland Chronicle several times in the past few months, including in August when work began on taking the house down. While the permit is for “demolition of single family residence,” the contractor on the work was Our United Villages which runs the Rebuilding Center, and the state of the house in late August also indicated the process was a deconstruction.

While permits generally don’t indicate whether the work will be demolition or deconstruction, a recent deconstruction in the Lloyd District did include that information on the permit record.

The 1900 Goose Hollow home, owned by an LLC that leads to another LLC that leads back to Vic Remmers of Everett Custom Homes and Wally Remmers, will be replaced by a six-story building with 61 residential units.
