2 Oregon projects win Wood Design Awards
WoodWorks - Wood Products Council has announced the winners of its 2021 Wood Design Awards, which include two projects in Oregon.

Key Development’s Sideyard fits snugly into place as one of the final pieces in the rapid redevelopment near the Burnside Bridge’s east end.
A Key development for Old Town Chinatown
Two culturally sensitive buildings, including one up to 200 feet high, are proposed for Block 25.
Burnside bridgehead building boom continues
Cross-laminated timber is a key element in a new mixed-use building under construction in Northeast Portland.
Moving forward with structural innovation
Despite a material failure during construction of a project at Oregon State University, many parties aren’t shying away from cross-laminated timber.
Another building being squeezed into hot spot
Key Development is following up Yard at the Burnside Bridge's east end with a five-story, mixed-use building featuring cross-laminated timber.
Burnside bridgehead grows up
Several years after Beam Development kick-started redevelopment at the Burnside bridgehead with its Eastside Exchange project, the area is still bustling with activity.
Industrial development is big business
As residential development begins to show signs of slowing, industrial development is booming with no end in sight.
Yard sells for $126.68 million
The mixed-use tower completed earlier this year in Portland’s Central Eastside has been sold to a Land and Houses U.S.A., a wholly owned American subsidiary of Land and Houses Public Company Limited of Bangkok, Thailand.
As Yard project wraps up, designer defends it
In six weeks, market-rate apartment tenants will move into the Yard tower – the jutting, angular embodiment of a new Central Eastside.
Controversial project could spur change
A noticeable discrepancy between a project's approved design and the real thing is causing a stir in Portland.
