Yard is a 21-story, 206-foot (63 m)-tall apartment building under construction at the Burnside Bridgehead in Portland, Oregon's Kerns neighborhood, in the United States.[1][2] It was designed by Skylab Architecture for Key Development Co. of Hood River and Guardian Real Estate Services of Portland.[3]
History
The Portland Development Commission started buying land at the east end of the Burnside Bridge about 2000 for a redevelopment project, eventually spending $11 million.[4] Plans were first submitted to develop the property in 2006, but eventually the project was delayed due to the Great Recession.[4] Construction began in October 2014 on what was estimated to be a $58 million project.[5] The building topped out in January 2016 with a ceremony attended by Congressman Earl Blumenauer.[6]
Details
Yard includes 21 above ground floors.[7] The 206-foot (63 m)-tall concrete and glass high rise was designed by Skylab Architecture.[7] It is a mixed-use development with ground floor retail and 284 apartments.[6][7]
