Pearl Family Housing – Portland, Oregon
Services Employed: Architectural Design, Interior Design
CLIENT: Turtle Island Development
CLIENT GOAL: By most measures, the Pearl District has emerged as a successful new urban neighborhood. However, this success has yet to include the full range of the population. Specifically, families with children are underrepresented. The Pearl Family Housing Apartments will lead the course towards realizing the goal of providing a home for this segment of the population in the Pearl District.
DESIGN RESPONSE: The Pearl Family Housing Apartments is a new apartment community located in the North Pearl District. The primary goal of this project is to provide affordable housing in the Pearl District for families with children. The building will be built on the block bordered by NW 13th and 14th Avenues and NW Raleigh and Quimby Streets. This location is 2 blocks from “The Fields” park, 4 blocks from the new Safeway grocery store and 3-5 blocks from the Portland Streetcar.
Pearl Family Housing will include 138 affordable apartments available to income qualified families. 70 apartments will have three-bedrooms, 60 apartments will have two-bedrooms and 8 apartments will have one-bedroom.
