The first deck pour was carried out earlier this month for Beacon Lake Oswego, a four-story mixed-use building that will bring office, retail and event space to the city’s downtown. Crews with Bremik Construction, the project’s general contractor, and placement and finishing subcontractor LaRusso Concrete carried out a 580-cubic-yard pour March 1 to form the first floor of the post-tensioned concrete structure.

The Mackenzie-designed building is located in the heart of Lake Oswego, along Third Street between B and C avenues. It is being developed by 10 Branch, a family office consisting of members of the Haladay family 鈥� including managing director Miles Haladay, formerly of Viewpoint Construction Software, and his father, retired Viewpoint CEO and board chairman Jay Haladay.

According to Miles Haladay, a Lake Oswego resident, the family saw opportunities for niche event and office space in the city’s downtown core.

鈥淲e are firm believers in the downtown Lake Oswego area,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 like to call it a 鈥榖outique urban’ environment, an urban environment without the problems of downtown Portland.鈥�

Ironlight, the top-floor event center created by Haladay family members, was borne of a lack of options outside Portland to hold events with 200-250 person capacity. The top floor will feature two decks with panoramic views, so large weddings and other events can be held either indoors or outdoors as weather permits.

The second and third floors, meanwhile, will be occupied by CENTRL Office, a Portland-based co-working startup. Downtown Lake Oswego, Haladay says, offers an attractive alternative to Portland.

鈥淚 think people are going to get tired of the traffic downtown and look for other options to be working in,鈥� he said. 鈥淒owntown Lake Oswego 鈥� provides the best of both worlds. Everything you need you can walk to, but you don’t have the traffic that you have to deal with in downtown Portland.鈥�

The building will hold about 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, some of which Haladay envisions being leased by a boutique market with coffee and grab-and-go food items. Parking for about 116 vehicles will be provided in below- and at-grade garage space.

Haladay cites recent growth in Lake Oswego’s downtown area, including PHK Development‘s Windward and Sturgeon Development Partners‘ North Anchor, as well as older projects like Gramor Development‘s Lake View Village, as evidence of a strong boutique urban core.

鈥淲ho’d have thought you’d have a Bamboo Sushi here, or a Salt and Straw, ten years ago?鈥� he said. 鈥淚 think this is just the beginning of downtown Lake Oswego becoming stronger and stronger.鈥�

The project is scheduled for completion in early 2020, ideally in time for the first event at Ironlight 鈥� Jay Haladay’s 70th birthday party 鈥� to take place on Feb. 21.
