This year鈥檚 top project in the Tenant Improvement category involves not one, but two different buildings in Southeast Portland鈥檚 Belmont neighborhood that together epitomize New Portland.

Woodblock Architecture performed design work and Deacon Construction was the general contractor for the renovation and seismic retrofit of two old warehouse buildings that now host a brewery, tap room, restaurant and roof deck for the San Diego-based Modern Times Brewery. Using new technology alongside established techniques, the project team combined the two spaces into a single 20,000-square-foot facility.

It began with the planned renovation of a former warehouse located at the corner of Southeast Sixth Avenue and Belmont Street.

鈥淧artway through that process they threw a wildcard and said 鈥極h, by the way, we鈥檙e going to lease the adjacent building, is this killing the project?鈥欌�� said Brian Peters, a principal at Woodblock Architecture. 鈥溾�業t鈥檚 an existing brewery, and we鈥檙e going to take over the space, and with two 10,000-square-foot spaces, we鈥檒l have room.鈥� It鈥檚 rare to have one tenant in two buildings with two different landlords.鈥�

The project team adapted on the fly and made it work seamlessly. Shell scope of work consisted of a 20,000-square-foot full seismic upgrade, full build-out of a new 1,800-square-foot rooftop patio and penthouse accessed by a cable-suspended master stairway overlooking the tasting room and 35-tap bar below.

鈥淲e ended up using a portion of an existing skylight, enlarging it and used it to get people up to the top,鈥� Peters said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 one of my favorite parts. It鈥檚 a huge part of the circulation.鈥�

The original plan was to renovate an existing 19th century vintage warehouse. But because the neighboring structure happened to already house a brewery, Modern Times decided to lease that building as well and incorporate it into the project. It worked like a charm. And while more work would be needed to fully incorporate the two buildings into a single cohesive space, the groundwork has already been laid.

鈥淏eing able to take advantage of the large volume and all of the exposed beams is really great,鈥� Peters said. 鈥淎nd in a future phase, to create a penetration and connection between the two buildings, we鈥檒l need a fire shutter and controls on both sides. But for daily operations it would be open and would allow more ability to move product between the two buildings.鈥�

To connect the two buildings the project team utilized a new type of material, SR Foam from SR Contractors that acts as a structural adhesive to form a structural anchorage.

The wall of the old warehouse was originally constructed out of terra cotta. This had to be steam cleaned to remove any old paint and allow the SR foam to adhere to the wall properly. In the meantime, while foam was sprayed into a void space next to a wood shear wall, a new concrete masonry unit wall had to be built as the existing roof was attached to the adjacent building鈥檚 exterior wall 鈥� where no wall had previously existed.
