Madison Office Condominiums, Portland, OR.

This boutique commercial building will offer four floors of office space for sale above ground floor retail. The project sits on a 6,500 square foot site with access from SW 11th Avenue to the west and a vibrant, new pedestrian plaza to the south. The design takes a bold and refreshing approach using a palette of primary colors. Blue metal panels will wrap most of the building and the steel structural beams, exposed at the base and cap of the building, will be painted a bright yellow. Glass roll-up doors on the south facade will open the retail space (expected to be a restaurant) onto the new pedestrian plaza. The building will feature extensive glazing, operable windows, high ceilings and many sustainable design elements, including bio-planters to capture and filter rainwater from the roof, high efficiency mechanical systems, dual-flush toilets, low VOC products, use of recycled and recyclable materials, and more. The Madison Office Condominiums is the final piece of the three-block redevelopment project referred to as Museum Place, which includes the St. Francis Apartments, Museum Place Lofts & Townhouses, YWCA Downtown Center, and the Eliot Tower condominiums.
