A Wilsonville developer is looking to build a new apartment building in Gresham’s Rockwood neighborhood.

Eugene Labunksy, president of West Coast Home Solutions LLC, is the applicant behind a proposal for a three-story building with 24 market-rate apartments and a courtyard at 17526 E. Burnside St. Currently, the project is in development review. The project team last week participated in a voluntary meeting with the Gresham Design Commission.

Plans call for six apartments on the first floor, nine on the second floor and nine on the third floor. The developer is planning a mix of studios, one-bedroom units and two-bedroom units. Each one is expected to have a balcony and a terrace.

The building footprint would be 8,500 square feet, with 25,500 gross square feet upon completion. There would be 15 uncovered parking stalls and nine covered ones.

The design calls for wood framing, with the lowest level facing East Burnside Street. The driveway would be clad in brick.

In the initial land-use application, designers stated they wish the building to resemble a series of townhomes rather than a traditional apartment building. To help accomplish that, the upper floors and the building’s rear and west sides would be clad in cementitious lap siding.

Meanwhile, construction is under way on West Coast Home Solutions’ 379-unit Anchor Way development in the Bridgeton neighborhood, in North Portland. Two buildings – Harbor Sky and Harbor Sky Annex – are being built along the Columbia River.
