The Broadway Corridor project offers the potential to create 5 million+ square feet of new economic, business, social and community development opportunities. The site is at the heart of a transportation network that includes light rail, streetcar, and bus, with multiple stops of each mode within 1/8 of a mile of the site, as well as Prosper Portland-owned Union Station. The location and size of the Broadway Corridor represents an opportunity to realize Prosper Portland’s vision for an equitable economy by advancing prosperity, creating a vibrant neighborhood, and supporting living wage jobs. For more information on this ongoing project, visit KOLIN BUILDING www.broadwaycorridorpdx.com 8 COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL | PORTLAND Opportunity Zone The Kolin Building is located in one Oregon’s Opportunity Zones. Opportunity Zones can deliver significant tax savings on medium- to long-term investments in economically disadvantaged communities. This new tax incentive pertains to both the capital gains invested initially through a qualified opportunity fund (QOF), as well as future capital gains earned on the original investment in zone-based businesses or projects. Each zone consists of an entire census tract, as established for the decennial U.S. Census. Tracts vary in size but generally align with population density. Oregon has 834 census tracts, more than 300 of which were eligible by meeting the definition of a “low income community” in terms of median family incomes or poverty rates. With the opportunity zone incentive, the capital gains arising from sale to an unrelated person that are then transferred into a qualified opportunity fund within 180 days will have their tax liability delayed or deferred until December 31, 2026, at the latest. The taxpayer decides how much of his/her newly realized gains to invest, when to sell or exit that investment, or even whether to invest other moneys alongside (which would not receive these tax benefits). In addition to deferring income taxes, by the time the investment of tax-deferred capital gains in the opportunity zone is sold or the end of 2026, whichever is earlier: • The amount subject to taxes shrinks by 10% if the investment has been held for at least five years by 2026 (invested by 2021). • The amount subject to taxes also shrinks to the fair market value of the investment if less than its original value. For more information on Opportunity Zones, visit: www.oregon4biz.com/Opportunity-Zones EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9 PROPERTY PROFILE Property Profile The Kolin Building can allow a user or investor to acquire a close-in turnkey property. Originally built in 1905, the property was fully seismically upgraded in 2000. The tasteful upgrades to the build-out represent a move in-ready option. Within a stone’s throw of exciting new developments at the Post Office and Greyhound sites, the Kolin Building represents an opportunity to be adjacent to the 5 million+ square feet that will be developed. The property’s location within an Opportunity Zone creates options for a buyer to further improve the property, including the potential addition of another floor. Fully HVAC’d and elevator-served. Long term ownership has remained extremely proactive in regards to maintenance of the property. Ready for immediate occupancy.

  • M E M O R a N D U M To: Oregon Metro and Trimet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report
    M E M O R A N D U M To: Oregon Metro and TriMet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report The Central City Transit Capacity Analysis (CCTCA) project is an effort to define a representative project that addresses light rail capacity and reliability issues in the Central City and that improves regional mobility by eliminating major sources of rail system delay. A representative pro ject is intended to give project sponsors and partners enough information to scope and estimate costs for future operational, engineering, and environmental studies. The representative pro ject will also provide conceptual, preliminary information for stakeholders and the general public. The Portland Central City is the economic and cultural center of the region, with the densest population of people and jobs in Oregon. It is home to numerous regional destinations, including the Oregon Convention Center, Rose Quarter, Union Station, the Pearl District and Old Town/Chinatown, Do wntown, Portland State University, and Providence Park. Traffic congestion, surface transit limitations, limited Willamette River crossings, and Steel Bridge rail capacity and reliability issues all impact the movement of people to and through downtown Portland and between Regional and Town Centers. Projected population and employment growth in the Central City and throughout the region will exacerbate the problem in the future. Improvements to the light rail system are among the most critical, sustainable, and cost-effective means to ensure access to Central City and provide the regional mobility needed to support job and population growth. The project, including this Screening Report, are guided by a Technical Group composed of representatives from local partner agencies.

  • Reduction of Transverse Cracking in Structural Slab Bridge
    REDUCTION OF TRANSVERSE CRACKING IN STRUCTURAL SLAB BRIDGE DECKS USING ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS A Dissertation Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of: Doctor of Philosophy Srikanth Marchetty May 2018 REDUCTION OF TRANSVERSE CRACKING IN STRUCTURAL SLAB BRIDGE DECKS USING ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS Srikanth Marchetty Dissertation Approved by: ________________________________ ________________________________ Advisor Department Chair Dr. Anil Patnaik Dr. Wieslaw K. Binienda _______________________________ ________________________________ Committee Member Dean, College of Engineering Dr. Craig C. Menzemer Dr. Donald P. Visco Jr. ________________________________ ________________________________ Committee Member Exec. Dean of Graduate School Dr. Ping Yi Dr. Chand K. Midha ________________________________ ________________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. Xiaosheng Gao ________________________________ Committee Member Dr. Nao Mimoto ii ABSTRACT Cracking on decks is one of the major concerns for bridges located all over the United States, affecting the durability and service life of the bridge. The CSS (Continuous Span Structural Slab) bridges, without stringers and are the most commonly used bridges in counties over the streams. Several CSS bridges in Ohio were surveyed to inspect crack widths on the bridge decks; and it was found that the crack widths over the negative moment regions were as wide as 0.125 inches. Such wide cracks exceed the recommended limit by ACI 224R-01 on bridges exposed to deicing salts by a factor of over 15. The permanently opened cracks act as pathways to the chlorides from the de-icing salts, allowing them to reach the reinforcement, causing aggressive environment around the embedded steel. This causes corrosion of the embedded reinforcing bars leading to severe section loss in steel.
