The Wyatt Mixed-Use Development

Portland, Oregon

This fifteen story, mixed-use building includes 10,000 square feet of ground level retail, 246 residential units - including street level townhouses - and 333 underground parking spaces within three structured levels. One of the goals was to break down the scale of the 200 x 200-foot block development into smaller, recognizable and pedestrian-oriented pieces. The design includes the incorporation of salvaged brick from a pre-existing structure on the adjacent corner into the new building's façade and the reuse of the existing Historic Bridgeport Brewery Truss Element that has spanned NW 13th Avenue for decades. The design of an unprecedented "pedestrian-way" along 13th Avenue - a curbless, "industrial" street - creates a functional, safe transition zone between vehicles and pedestrians.
