I'm no expert on housing rules and regulations, but zoning, location and market demand are key ingredients in this. Specifically with the 245 SW Salmon hotel, that site sits in the financial district across the street from the world trade center, MOH courthouse and various large office buildings. A hotel appears more appropriate for the site, and its important to know that this project design was approved 3 years ago, so this has been in the pipeline for quite a bit longer than many other proposed hotels.
That said, its pretty insane how many hotels have been recently built, UC or proposed...
Proposed: Portland Proper, Everett Hotel, Toyoko Inn (eek)
UC: 245 SW Salmon, Block 216, Harlow Hotel Reno, Moxy Hotel, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt Convention Center, Hotel Chamberlain, KEX
Recently Complete: Hoxton, Canopy Hotel, Pearl Hampton, AC Hotel, The Porter, Woodlark Hotel, Wyndam Worldmark, Radisson RED, Jupiter Next
