well i was down in sowa, but primarily to use the tram as a transportation tool b/c i was not going to bother biking up those hills, going down is nicer. didn't get any pictures though (thats what i meant by skipped) but will do so the next time i'm there. but for updates, i saw people beginning to move into the John Ross. wanted to go in but did not bring a lock for the bike, so oh well. and its courtyard space is shaping up really nicely.

How is it big for the neighborhood? Just blocks away are the highrises at Park and Vista, the Envoy is practically across the street, the only thing different is that it's the first built in the last 30 years.

True, the Envoy has about the same visual mass, but it's at the foot of a steep hill and set back by a full block from the nearest pedestrian thoroughfare. And Park and Vista are just plain eyesores, so comparing the Westerly to those buildings does not do it any favors, in my opinion.

The Westerly just "feels" obtrusive to me ... Have you walked in that area now that the building is filling out? There just seems to be a lot of sunlight missing; the corner of NW Everett and NW Westover now feels like an alleyway...

It would be a great location to live. But for >$500/sf, the floorplans in the building are just uninspired ...

I might be a little apathetic because I don't live right there, but I don't really sweat the issues of shadows and "boxing". Northwest neighborhood is a dense area that is only getting denser and problems like that are unavoidable. Its quite difficult to have nearly any changes to an area that won't adversly affect some, so the only thing you could do is put a moritourm on building or declare every structure in the city historical.

can't get .pdfs to work today, so here's a link to the BDS application for a four story condo building at 47th and Burnside. Looks like it'll be called the Laurelview, there are some renders on the link

I was riding the Yellow line yesterday and noticed site prep work at the old Thunderbird motel site across from Memorial Coliseum. I went to portlandmaps and found they have numerous "Commercial or Multi-Family Dwelling/Structure" permits approved and in the works. Anybody know anything.

Vulcan has studied numerous configurations for development, there. Not certain where it stands today. I can ask a couple people who have a good chance of knowing, though.

More recently, Vulcan has looked at housing possibilities, but that has gone quiet.

just a suggestion for this thread: it would be cool if it were similar to the boom rundown lists in which on the first page every project is listed because it is so hard to keep track of them all otherwise, and if another project is announced it could be added to the front page. And maybe even classify as under construction, proposed etc. Unfortunately I did not start this thread so I can't go back and edit the first post. Mark can you do this? if you don't feel like doing the work I can do it and you can just copy and paste it onto the first post...
anyway here is a quick rundown of all of myhre group's project since I was just browsing their site most of these have probably already been posted before but feel free to point out any new ones or ones that are dead...
http://www.myhregroup.com/

Dougall.
what you have labeled as "Backbridge Station" is incorrect.

I believe the project you are showing is actually proposed for upper Hawthorne, near JaCivas Bakery...

I walked by the Rocket last night. They've painted a graffiti mural near the entrance. It's not as hideous from the street level.
