The Design Commission is getting a briefing on the Albina Vision next week. Here's a memo and the supporting documents.

Off topic but Mac is nextportland still active moving forward?

I'm not sure

You've done such a fantastic job, it would be a shame to see it go.

It’s a great site would hate to see it go.. but I can imagine the time it takes.

Presentation [200 MB] to the Design and Historic Landmarks Commissions.

I think some of your questions might be answered by browsing through the larger package linked here:

It's worth noting that there are two buildings in the boundaries that are already in development, on parcels M [Albina One] and N [Analog] (ref also pages 6, 19 and 20 of the Site Data Appendix).

I think it's likely that the "Right of First Refusal" referenced in the presentation is Albina Vision Trust's right to buy the PPS Blanchard site, not a reference to who will live in the future developments. With that said, there are policies such as the N/NE Preference policy that are specifically designed to benefit people who have been displaced from N/NE Portland (very disproportionality Black people), while remaining in compliance with the Civil Rights Act.

Lastly... I really don't want to be in the position of moderating a politics forum, so can I ask everyone to please stick to comments that directly relate to this development?

Not a bad addition of density there. Wish it were a little taller, but so it goes.

that parking lot to the north is MultCo parking overflow for their blanchard offices.

No comment lol

I would hate to see nextportland end, but I understand if it’s not something you can keep up. Thanks for doing it as long as you did, if anything.

I would love to see this kind of density around the Rose Quarter.

We have so many major projects to get off the ground let alone something like this. Would love to see it tho

One of my big vision ideas would be to repurpose the Coliseum as new main rail station/intermodal hub for Portland much in the vision of a European rail station. Passenger trains would no longer have to cross the Willamette River twice and the downtown rail tunnel could run directly below the station for quick and easy interchange. Part of this plan would be demolishing the Louis-Dreyfus grain silos in order to straighten out the track north of the Steel Bridge.

Agree a rail/subway station in that area makes a lot of sense
