A six-story hotel under construction on East Burnside Street will serve as an expansion of the Jupiter Hotel, a motor inn located one block west across Southeast Ninth Avenue. Yorke & Curtis is building the 67-room hotel, which was designed by Works Progress Architecture.

The building’s ground floor will contain a restaurant, lobby and programming space, the second floor will feature a lounge, meeting room, banquet hall, and outdoor garden space, and the guest rooms will be on floors three through six. The structure has two floors of post-tensioned concrete on a slab-on-grade foundation, and floors three and above will be wood-framed.

The building will be mostly clad in asphalt shingle panels manufactured by Portland-based Malarkey Roofing Products. Construction on the project began late last year, and is slated for completion at the end of this year.
