Northwest Housing Alternatives‘ proposed 148-unit affordable housing project in the Alphabet District doesn’t quite have the green light for construction yet.

The Portland City Council later this month will hear of the planned two-building project, which earlier this year received approval from the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission.

Plans for 1727 N.W. Hoyt St. call for construction of a pair of new buildings 鈥� one five stories and the other a four-story addition to the existing three-story Buck-Prager Building. The five-story 鈥淣orth鈥� building would have 100 workforce housing units, while the four-story 鈥淪outh鈥� addition would combine with the existing building to provide 48 senior housing units.

Carleton Hart Architecture designed the project.

Opponents say the buildings as designed would be outsize for the neighborhood. The appeal filed on behalf of the Northwest District Association claims that criteria for approval were not met and multiple procedural errors were committed during the review process.

The City Council will hold the hearing at 2 p.m. on Nov. 29 in its chambers at 1221 S.W. Fourth Ave.
