Tonight, we are gathered in this beautiful ballroom to celebrate the work of Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East. With every paddle raised this evening, your support will go a long way towards helping Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life. Many hardworking families in our city are in need of decent and affordable housing. Every day we see the impacts of the housing crisis in Portland, especially in the communities we serve. At Habitat, we provide a hand-up, not a hand-out. Families purchase an affordable home and help build it with the support of our staff and volunteers. Together, we can help many local families achieve their dreams of a safe, stable, healthy and affordable home. Tonight would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors and donors. Thank you to those who graciously donated their time, money and items to help plan this special evening. I encourage you to give generously tonight. Please raise those paddles high and often. Warm regards, Dawn Holden, Board Chair Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East 3 Presenting DREW CARNEY Emcee Drew Carney joined KGW-TV in September of 2006.

In the past two years, her family moved over half a dozen times, at one point living in an unfinished basement in unhealthy living conditions. Each move was a burden on Wendy’s children. Her son changed schools twice. Their housing instability caused both kids to experience tremendous anxiety and developmental delays. Despite this, Wendy pushed on. “There’s something I learned in the military, which is to keep going even when times are difficult,” said Wendy. She left the Navy and attended Portland State University, becoming a first-generation graduate. Even with a college degree and stable job, rising rents in Portland make it incredibly difficult for a family like Wendy’s to get their feet under them. Wendy is actively involved with her community and with the PTA. She currently works as an Administrative Assistant where she helps low-income and refugee families connect with learning programs. “I want to help others,” said Wendy. “Before we can help others, we have to first be healthy ourselves.” She hopes to help local public schools develop literacy programs and encourage safe environments for families. When Wendy found out she had been accepted into the Habitat homeownership program, she was overwhelmed. “I cried,” she admitted. “I have the ability to transform my family, and this is a responsibility I take seriously. To provide my kids with their own space and say to them ‘This is yours to paint, to decorate, and to build your dreams on’ means everything to me.” 5 Live Auction 1. Passion in Portland 9.

  • Portland Hotel, 1890 by Unknown the Portland Hotel Opened in 1890
    Portland Hotel, 1890 By Unknown The Portland Hotel opened in 1890. It had eight floors, 326 bedrooms, and extensive dining facilities, and the design suggested substance and elegance rather than opulence and frivolity. In a sense, it reflected something of Portland’s conservative (some said dull) character. All told, the hotel had cost well over a million dollars and taken years to complete. Railroad magnate Henry Villard began construction of the Portland Hotel, however, his finances collapsed and progress halted for over two years. When George B. Markle, Jr. came to Portland he decided to begin a campaign to raise enough local money and support to complete the hotel. He succeeded in getting acquainted with the “right” sort in Portland and generated interest and capital from notables such as Henry W. Corbett and William S. Ladd. Over 150 Portlanders subscribed to Markle’s plan, and construction of the hotel resumed. Until it was torn down in 1951, the Portland Hotel stood between Southwest Morrison and Yamhill, on Sixth Street, facing the Pioneer Courthouse. When the parking structure that replaced the hotel was in turn replaced by Pioneer Square in 1984, the iron scrollwork gate that had graced the hotel was incorporated into the design of the new public space.

  • 2018 Results
    Central City Development & Redevelopment Projects Prepared by Heritage Consulting Group May 2018 Purpose: This document is intended to provide a five-year window on real estate development in Portland’s Central City. For the purposes of this document, the Central City includes the following sub-districts: Downtown, West End, University District, River District, South Waterfront on the west side of the Willamette River, the Central Eastside and Lloyd District on the east side of the river. The subsequent pages begin with general comments followed by a summary of projects under construction, projects in design, projects in concept and projects completed in the last five years. Overview: Portland has historically been a very attractive second-tier real estate market. As the largest city between San Francisco and Seattle, Portland has a national and international reputation as a sustainable, vibrant, and trendy city with a legacy of aggressive growth management strategies and robust investments in alternative transportation. It is well recognized for its livability and it continues to attract a highly-educated workforce. Economic leaders are focused on workforce development in the growing sectors of clean tech, activewear, software, research and advanced manufacturing industries. Cumulatively, this has resulted in a marketplace that is largely stable and fueled by consistent in-migration. As in recent years, the real estate marketplace has been extraordinarily active in a large number of projects across all sectors in nearly every geographic area of the city and region. With high demand and less supply, particularly within the housing sector, this has presented a challenge around affordability. Current projects providing notable additional supply may mitigate this challenge in the longer term, while the city continues to explore strategies to spur additional housing development.

    Eggleston • Developing the Nines Hotel: Challenges & Solutions Developing the Nines Hotel: Challenges & Solutions Donald Eggleston, President, SERA Architects I In October 2008, Sage Hospitality opened the doors of its new downtown Portland hotel, the Nines, operated by Starwood, The story behind the hotel illustrates the opportunities, challenges, and complications of renovating a downtown Portland landmark. Designed to reflect the elegance of the historic Meier & Frank building, the new Nines Hotel culminates years of work to partner public and private sector resources to rehabilitate a downtown landmark. PSU Center for Real Estate • Quarterly & Urban Development Journal • 4th Quarter 2008 • Page 25 Eggleston • Developing the Nines Hotel: Challenges & Solutions Since 1908, the Meier & Frank building has been an anchor for downtown retail activity. While most people think of the building as a single structure occupying an entire block in the central city, few realize that the Meier & Frank building is actually an aggregate of three different buildings, each one built in a different decade. In keeping with the building’s genesis, the current $160-million rehabilitation aggregated many disparate needs of public and private stakeholders. This article describes multiple historic, economic, public/private, design, and management challenges requiring innovative solutions to achieve historic rehabilitation, adaptive reuse and sustainable design on this scale. Portland’s Retail Heart The Meier & Frank Building site was first developed in 1898 as a 5-story structure known as the Whidden & Lewis building. A 10-story annex, the Doyle & Patterson building, was built in 1909 and connected to the main department store. In 1915, the original 1898 department store was demolished and a new 15-story structure was built on the same footprint, followed by another 15-story addition built in 1932.
