I have high hopes for this one! GBD did two of my favorite recent projects here: The Pearl West building, and Hassalo On Eighth.
The word "transform" is so overused in development. Almost every project seems to claim it will transform a neighborhood, but this is a case where that would be true and then some. I've been dreaming of a day when those awful Oregonian bunkers would be torn out. Replacing that dead zone with something like this would be fantastic!!!
I'm not sure which direction I hope the tower faces. They show both options on that PDF. If it ends up going north to south, it'll block more of the noise from Providence Park, but if it stretches from east to west, it'll block less of the downtown view from Goose Hollow.
Either way, I'll be thrilled. Build, baby, BUILD!
