The overall district is bordered by NW 16th/I-405 to the west, NW Broadway to the east, Burnside to the south, and the Willamette River to the North. The residential growth has been the catalyst for the ever-emerging area with approximately 6,000 existing and planned residential units in the pipeline. The residents of the area on average are between the ages of 25-40 with the vast majority being single or couples without children. This growth has created the demand for retail, which has flourished in order to support this population. parks | Woven between residential and retail are several existing and planned parks: Jamison Square Park, at NW 10th & Johnson attracts residents, visitors and throngs of families with children during warm weather to play in the fountain. Tanner Springs Park, located at NW 11th & Marshall features wetlands, a pond with a pontoon and cobblestone pathways. The next planned park is an activity park between NW 10th & 11th and Overton & Quimby Streets. This three acre park, which will be called The Fields, is currently in the planning stages. Construction is proposed to start mid-2008. The North Park Blocks spans six blocks between NW 8th & Park and provides another greenspace for residents and visitors to enjoy. pearl district retail mix | • Grocery (Whole Foods, and a 40,000 square foot Safeway store currently under construction at NW 14th & Lovejoy) • Drugstore (Rite Aid at NW 10th & Hoyt) • Big Box Retailers (REI, Office Max , 24 Hour Fitness,and a LA Fitness currently under construction at NW 14th & Northrup) • Boutique retailers (clothing, shoes, and art galleries) • Food (over 35 restaurants, bars, and numerous coffee establishments call the Pearl District home urban works real estate | 503.228.3080 the brewery blocks the brewery blocks | The Brewery Blocks remain the heart and soul of the Pearl District, which has evolved from industrial warehouses, manufacturing and a dilapidated brewery into a five-block 1.7 million square foot mixed-use redevelopment that consists of urban retail, class A office, and residential housing. The Brewery Blocks retail tenant mix is amongst the best Portland offers in terms of national and local retailers and restaurants, with a co-tenancy including the likes of Whole Foods, The North Face, lucy, adidas, Puma, PF Chang’s, Anthropologie, Finn and the ten 01 restaurant. With the streetcar accessibility and 1,350 sub- grade parking spaces the Brewery Blocks is not only busy fulfilling the neighborhoods needs, but is a true regional draw. available space | Approximately 2,914 square feet is available at the corner of NW 13th & Burnside. Additionally, 949 square feet is available on NW 12th between Couch & Davis. sustainability | The Brewery Blocks has not only been in the spotlight for its aesthetics and national tenants, but it is an example of an urban sustainable neighborhood development. The 5-block project is now controlled under two separate ownerships. One group controls blocks 1,3,4, and 5 and another controls block 2. Each of these blocks fall under the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification; Block 1- LEED Silver, Block 2- LEED Gold, Block 3- (Armory) LEED Platinum, Block 3- (the Henry) LEED Gold, Block 4- LEED Gold, and Block 5- LEED Gold. Due to the nature of a redevelopment, maintaining historical integrity, re-using existing structures, and by adding new structures, the buildings varied in terms of their certification. Block 1 houses a high efficiency cooling plant and chilled air system which is able to feed the additional blocks with cool water and air. Day lighting, high efficiency glazing, and window shading is used throughout the development to reduce cooling loads and minimize electrical needs pulled from lighting. This project used local and recycled materials where feasible with new construction, and recycled and salvaged 94% of its components during the demolition phases. These features along with eco-roofs, the use of certified wood products and many other features are examples of how this project has been a signature example of sustainability not only in Portland, but in the Country, and achieved the certification and recognition that it has. urban works real estate | 503.228.3080 503.228.3080 C & W Property Management +/- 949 SF urban works real estate | ten 01 the brewery blocks Ice Breakers +/- 2,914 SF the brewery blocks block 1 Available!

  • The Fields Neighborhood Park Community Questionnaire Results March-April 2007
    The Fields Neighborhood Park Community Questionnaire Results March-April 2007 A Community Questionnaire was included in the initial project newsletter, which was mailed to over 4,000 addresses in the vicinity of the park site (virtually the entire neighborhood) as well as other interested parties. The newsletter was made available for pick-up at Chapman School and Friendly House and made available electronically as well. A total of 148 questionnaires were submitted, either by mail or on the web, by the April 20 deadline. The following summarizes the results. 1. The original framework plan for the River District Parks suggested three common elements that would link the parks together. Which do you feel should be included in The Fields neighborhood park? 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Boardwalk Pedestrian Gallery Aquifer 2. This park is envisioned as a “neighborhood park no answ er – over two square blocks providing more traditional spaces for neighborhood residents. Do you agree ? with this overall concept? no yes Comments Regarding Question #2 “Traditional Neighborhood Park” #1 - None (of the original “framework concepts” are important What to you mean by "traditional" As long as this park does not become filthy (ie. bad terrain, homeless) like the waterfront, I'm for it. Excellent idea. A traditional park will be a nice complement to the other two parks. I don't know if my selections were recorded above. A continuation of the boardwalk is essential to making the connection between and among the parks. The design of the buildings around the park has narrowed the feeling of openness so it is beginning to look like a private park for the residential buildings surrounding it.

  • The Impacts of Dogs on Wildlife and Water Quality: a Literature Review
    The impacts of dogs on wildlife and water quality: A literature review Compiled by Lori Hennings, Metro Parks and Nature, April 2016 SUMMARY Metro periodically reviews the science literature behind its natural resource policies to ensure policies are based on the most current science. Recently staff reviewed the scientific literature regarding the impacts of dogs on wildlife to inform Metro Regulatory Code Title 10.01, which excludes pets from most Metro properties. The only exceptions are service dogs, leashed dogs on some regional trails, Broughton Beach, boat ramps and properties managed by others through intergovernmental agreements that are integrated into larger parks where leashed dogs are allowed (e.g., Forest Park). Any human related activity can disturb wildlife. In order to meet Metro's dual goals of protecting natural resources and providing access to nature, Metro has tried to strategically locate trails in less sensitive habitat and to ensure that human activity is as non-disruptive as possible. Part of that strategy has been to allow public access, while limiting certain activities such as bringing dogs into natural areas. The evidence that dogs negatively impact wildlife is overwhelming. It is clear that people with dogs – on leash or off – are much more detrimental to wildlife than people without dogs. Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are considered to be a subspecies of wolves (Canis lupus), and wildlife perceive dogs as predators.(30) Impacts include: 1. Physical and temporal displacement – The presence of dogs causes wildlife to move away, temporarily or permanently reducing the amount of available habitat in which to feed, breed and rest.

  • Portland, Oregon, USA
    Portland, Oregon, USA Alison Blake + Vanessa Lee ‘The City that Works’ Left: Portland Skyline and Mount Hood Below: MAX, Portland’s Light-Rail Transit (credit: Portland Visitors Association) Portland, Oregon is an environmentally progressive Northwest city that has taken the concept of open space planning to heart. The development of a regional govern- Marginalia:phrase, quote, ment system (Metro) and the adoption of an urban growth boundary in 1979 have photo, drawing, diagram helped protect lands outside of the city while encouraging density and vibrancy (arial, 10pt, justify left) within the city limits. Portland is notable for having almost 6,000-acre Forest Park, the fi fth-largest municipal park in the country. At the same time, master planning efforts have given equal attention to livability and open space within the city, so that Portland today boasts a total of 247 parks and recreational sites including 196 neighborhood parks. Today, Portland is renowned for the efforts it has made to integrate public infrastruc- ture in the name of livability and planning for the future. Attention to the environment and specifi cally to open space are at the heart of these planning efforts, which in- clude the completion and expansion of Portland’s original park systems plan, known as the Forty-Mile Loop.Yet at the same time, Portlands facilities are aging and require attention if they are to meet the needs of an expanding population. Still think- ing ahead, Portland Parks adopted their plan for the future, the Parks 2020 Vision in the year 2000. (See page 5) 1 | PORTLAND, OR We need to blur the boundaries between Park and City.
