Multnomah County is set to invest up to $101.6 million in the planned renovation of the Moda Center. The county’s Board of Commissioners on Thursday adopted a resolution with conditions for the investment, including a deal with the city of Portland and the state of Oregon. The approximately $600 million project is intended to keep the Portland Trail Blazers playing in the arena for the long term.

The resolution’s terms will serve as guideposts for the county and the city as they negotiate a formal agreement with one another as part of final negotiations with the Trail Blazers, a Multnomah County press release states. The city delivered its own draft term sheet to the Trail Blazers last month.

“I’ve heard and agree with the desire that we enter negotiations with strong terms that ensure that this deal is a benefit for our entire community,” Chair Jessica Vega Pederson said during the six-hour board meeting on Thursday.

The county’s terms include the Blazers making a commitment to stay in Portland for at least 20 years, a funding clawback allowing the county to recoup its investment if benchmarks are not met, a project labor agreement for construction, community and neighborhood commitments such as equitable treatment of the Portland Fire in the renovated facility and development rights for parcels adjacent to the Moda Center going to Albina Vision Trust, a revenue stream for the governments contributing to the renovation, protections from cost overruns tied to the renovation or initial ongoing capital costs, and more.

The county’s proposed commitment is for renovation and some initial ongoing capital expenditures. As amended, it removes any county contribution of Business Income Tax (BIT) revenues received from the recent sale of the Trail Blazers. Instead, the county will explore other alternatives such as Motor Vehicle Rental Tax revenue or possibly even increasing the tax rate.

“I appreciate this (option rather than) using the BIT,” Commissioner Meghan Moyer said.

The funding source has been the biggest issue for the commission, Pederson said, adding that she’d like to see more specifics in that regard.

Moyer and Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards expressed concern about the investment amount.

“I hope at the end of the day we end up at a low number,” Brim-Edwards said, adding that the resolution lists the investment as “up to” $101.6 million.

Moyer, who said the resolution was improved, ultimately voted no.

“I’m not going to be supportive of this package because it’s too much and I don’t want the county subsidizing a building we don’t own when we can’t afford to maintain the buildings we do own,” she said.

After the resolution passed, the county’s chief financial officer was directed to bring to the board funding proposals that prioritize using the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax, including the county’s 2.5 percent surcharge, and other tourism tax revenues.

The resolution also has three conditions. These include an updated economic analysis of market conditions, tax revenue projections and long-term costs and benefits; a complete workforce audit of direct and contracted employees for the Trail Blazers and Rip City Management; and a detailed renovation and maintenance plan covering scope, timeline, budget and risk management.

Negotiations between the county, the city and the state of Oregon for an intergovernmental agreement are expected to take place through October. The Multnomah County board is set to vote on the final agreement and related tax code amendments in December.

The Portland City Council will vote on its operator lease term sheet on Wednesday.

The county has hired a professional negotiator to act on its behalf and provide the board with regular updates and reports during the negotiation process.

Portland’s latest code amendment package to improve land use regulations received the City Council‘s approval on Thursday. The Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Package (RICAP) 11 is intended to streamline zoning across the city. The changes will take effect Nov. 1.

“RICAP projects are intended to identify technical corrections, clarify existing regulations, remove unnecessary barriers and improve the overall functionality of our code,” Housing and Permitting Committee Chair Candace Avalos said during a committee meeting in June. “The package includes dozens of relatively small amendments, but together they create a more predictable, efficient and user-friendly system.”

RICAP 11 is part of an ongoing series of code amendment projects. The previous one, RICAP 10, was adopted by the city council in June 2024 and took effect that October. Its amendments focused on housing production, economic development and regulatory reduction.

In the next year or so, other projects will be presented to the committee and the City Council, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability Director Eric Engstrom said. They include possible reform of the design review process, a Central City-focused package, and the Code Alignment Project (CAP) 2.

“Collectively, we’ll be looking at things like parking and frontage issues, repurposing existing buildings, elements of the tree code, continued work on middle housing codes and a lot more,” Engstrom said during the June committee meeting.

Thursday’s direction amends Title 32 (signs and related regulations) and Title 33 (planning and zoning). RICAP 11 includes 56 zoning code amendments focused on minor parking updates including access to bike parking areas, rules for setbacks and screening for mechanical equipment, regulations for outdoor shelters to align with what the city has allowed through its housing emergency, and allowances for larger signs in parks and open spaces, among others.

The council passed several amendments to the package late last month. These include allowing residential use in the Campus Institutional 1 zone and removing screening requirements for detached mechanical equipment.

The first project within the OMSI District has a green light. The Portland Design Commission on Thursday approved the design of a five-story, 100-unit affordable housing development, Los Colibris, on tract A of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry campus.

Holst Architecture designed the approximately 86,500-square-foot building planned at 1701 S.E. Water Ave. The project is being developed by Hacienda CDC and Edlen & Co. OMSI is the landowner. The project team also includes civil engineer KPFF, landscape architect PLACE, and Colas Construction.

Portland Permitting & Development values the project at $36 million. No specific construction schedule exists at this time, Holst Architecture principal and owner Dave Otte stated in an email. The project team will next look to secure funding.

Previously, the project team received design advice during a hearing in November 2025.

The site’s primary challenge is its location adjacent to Interstate 5. A large, multiuse courtyard on the east side faces away from the freeway to give residents a space shielded from traffic noise, the project’s narrative states.

Landscaping will be intense closer to the building, Holst Architecture senior associate Dustin Furseth said, adding that color will also be a key component.

“We think something bright and colorful next to OMSI adds to the beauty of that area,” he said.

The building’s name, Los Colibris (“The Hummingbirds”), ties into the design, Furseth said.

“Hummingbirds have a neutral palette often with highlights of color, which I think is a nice way of thinking about how to add color and vibrancy to a project,” he said.

Overall, the building will have a neutral color with hints of color at the windows and more vibrancy on the massing at the courtyard and entry.

Building materials will include primarily fiber cement with options for texture and paneled direction. Metal panels might have deeper texture folding like chevrons able to reflect color, Furseth said. The design team is exploring custom accent colors for fiber cement.

Layers of glazing are planned at the front entrance and the community room.

The roof will hold heat pumps and mini splits. Most of the rooftop equipment will be relatively low in sightlines, Furseth said.

Commissioner Brian McCarter added that he’d like to see a buffer around the children’s play area.

The commission’s approval came with five design modifications and 12 master plan amendments. One condition requires a landscape buffer of at least 10 feet maintained for the length of the building’s south elevation, at the northern side of the western half of the Bull Run pathway. Alternative configurations would be considered through a staff-level type II design review. This will preserve existing trees to screen the ground-floor units as the Bull Run pathway develops.

Modifications were approved for zoning code standards. These include providing approximately 57.5 percent of frontage and a wide courtyard to create active public space, creating an arcade along the east façade, modifying window standards and uses on the ground floor, and using 50 percent of the roof area for solar panels.

Master plan amendments include changing the timeline of development of open space 2, reducing the extent of the Bull Run improvements associated with tract A, removing the 20-foot building setback above 50 feet in height for tract A, removing the building pass-through at tract A and shifting vehicle access to the north, relocating the private wastewater treatment plant to a location to be determined, delaying provision of the OMSI identity framework, transferring 2,000 square feet of floor area to tract A from other tracts, removing the building line requirement from the north side of tract A, reducing the ground floor height requirement for tract A, and adjusting the Southeast Old Water Avenue right of way.

The wastewater treatment plant will likely be relocated to the south on tract A or tract F, according to OMSI.

Artwork will be included in the project; OMSI plans to be involved in the process.

Washington County and the city of Tualatin on Friday announced a proposed agreement with semiconductor equipment manufacturer Lam Research for it to invest up to $1.7 billion in Tualatin through 2041.

Negotiations took place via Oregon’s Strategic Investment Program (SIP), according to a press release. The SIP, a private-public partnership that provides property tax exemptions, was authorized by the 1993 Legislature to increase Oregon’s ability to attract and retain capital-intensive industry and high-wage jobs.

Lam Research, headquartered in Fremont, California, designs and builds products for semiconductor manufacturing, including equipment for wafer fabrication, thin film deposition and plasma etch systems.

The proposed SIP agreement would support Lam Research’s expansion of its operations in Tualatin. Plans call for creating a large, state-of-the-art research and development facility spread over multiple buildings. Previously, the company’s 120,000-square-foot Building G was completed in September 2025.

The property tax abatement would help support the company’s investment in the community and regional job creation. As with previous SIP agreements, property taxes would be partially abated for investments in the advanced facility, the press release states.

Lam Research would be required to make payments under two categories: those required by state law and those negotiated locally. Based on current models, the required payments would total an estimated $84 million in property taxes and fees over the life of the agreement, but actual amounts would vary based on finalized assessed values, timing of the company investments, and inflation. Additional fees are expected to total $27 million over the same period.

The Washington County Board of Commissioners and the Tualatin City Council will gather public comments on the proposed SIP agreement. The board of commissioners is set to meet at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, when it will receive public testimony and vote on the proposal. The city council will consider the proposal when it meets at 7 p.m. on Aug. 10.

State law would then require the Business Oregon Commission to approve the agreement before it could take effect. The group’s next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 24.

A 205,100-square-foot industrial and manufacturing facility in Wilsonville has sold for $31 million.

The facility, located at 26440 S.W. Parkway Ave., was sold to dental equipment manufacturer DCI International of Newberg. Clackamas County property records list ESS Tech Inc. as the seller.

Newmark Real Estate, headquartered in New York, arranged the sale of the facility. Managing director Mark Hush and associate director Jack Ward represented the buyer.

With the acquisition, DCI plans to consolidate regional operations spread across multiple facilities into a single, larger manufacturing hub that will double as its new headquarters, a Newmark press release states.

“DCI’s purchase and future relocation is a great example of companies making long-term commitments to the Portland region when the right opportunity becomes available,” Hush stated in the press release. “Large industrial buildings available for purchase are exceptionally scarce, and the landscape becomes even smaller when a user needs to remain near its existing workforce. This property checked all the critical boxes — location, scale, operational efficiency and room for future expansion — making it an ideal solution for DCI’s next phase of growth.”

Located within the Parkway Woods Business Park along Interstate 5, the 24.8-acre property features warehouse and manufacturing space, office and laboratory components, several dock-high loading positions, ample parking and trailer storage.

The post Williams & Russell project in Portland land use review intakes | July 27, 2026 appeared first on Daily Journal of Commerce.

A 272-unit, 1,002-bed student housing development is coming to property near the University of Oregon in Eugene.

Landmark Properties, headquartered in Athens, Georgia, partnered with CrossHarbor Capital Partners of Boston to acquire the 2.62-acre parcel that formerly held a PeaceHealth hospital. The firms are developing The Mark Eugene at 1290 Alder St., where ground will be broken later this month.

The project team includes ESG Architecture & Design of Minneapolis, civil engineer KPFF, VSM² Structural Engineers of Houston, Humphreys & Partners Landscape Architecture of Dallas, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer Emanuelson-Podas of Edina, Minnesota. The general contractor is Landmark Construction — the construction arm of Landmark Properties.

The Mark Eugene will have nine studios, 15 one-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom units, 29 two-bedroom/double occupancy units, 24 three-bedroom units, 119 four-bedroom units and 54 five-bedroom units.

The development will feature a contemporary urban aesthetic characterized by a strong mix of contrasting materials, Jason Doornbos, Landmark Properties’ chief development officer, stated in an email. Exterior materials will include a variety of brick, cementitious siding and wood composite siding.

The exterior is designed so that the facade’s length is broken up, ESG Architecture & Design Vice President David Stahl said. There will be a purposeful rhythm to avoid a patchwork-like look from changes of materials or colors, he added. Plans call for stacks of balconies with framed elements of a wood look and a nice stone base.

“Unlike a lot of other student-oriented projects, we do have a lot of balconies and articulation on the outside to give a little bit more texture and depth to the façade,” he said.

The building’s front door will essentially look out to the UO campus, Stahl said. One of the former hospital’s multilevel parking garages on the south side of 13th Avenue will be retained. The street is also one of the major bikeways that serve the campus.

Outdoor amenities will include a resort-style pool and spa with cabanas, a clubhouse, outdoor grilling equipment, a fire pit and seating areas, a dog park and multiple landscaped courtyards. Interior amenities will include a fitness center, a sports simulator, a wellness suite with a sauna and cold plunge, a study lounge with a café, a gaming lounge and bike storage.

The building will also have 5,785 square feet of ground-floor retail space within the parking garage at 13th and Hilyard Street.

“The idea is we want to encourage mingling and getting to know your neighbors,” Stahl said of the amenities. “The idea is ‘come on down where the activity is.’ When you’ve had enough activity, you can go back to your unit that is nice, peaceful and quiet.”

This project represents the first phase of two that are expected to ultimately deliver a total of 2,275 beds to the Eugene market. The second phase is planned for the land north of The Mark Eugene, Stahl said. A conceptual design completed by ESG calls for a greenway between the two buildings acting as a “pedestrian spine” connecting Alder Street and Hilyard Street, he added. Also, all streetscapes will have active facades.

Landmark Properties plans to reassess the second phase in two years, Stahl said.

Completion of the first phase is expected before the start of UO’s 2028-2029 school year.
