Yes it would be. At first I thought Portland Adventist hospital would be taller but after looking a Google street view this project would be taller.

The Gateway area has been zoned for this height and density for a long time. Its great to see a large development coming to the transit hub.

This is really gonna stand out in that area at 10 stories. I hope this is the beginning of many taller buildings coming to Gateway. The city really needs to get ahead of this area and get to work on some actual master planning and follow through with some designs for pedestrian walkways cutting these long blocks up, and making it safer for pedestrians to cross the busy cross streets.
