You can download detailed plans of the development from the KNA blog at https://kingneighborhood.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/1130-Alberta_Exhibit_Plans-and-Elevations-Rev-4-191009.pdf.

The plans show SEDUs (small efficiency dwelling units) of about 280 square feet on floors 3 and 4, and smaller (80 square foot) “lofts” on floor 5. From previous meetings with the developer, we understand that these micro-units will be “short-term furnished rentals.” Floors 1 and 2 are devoted to shops, offices, spa services, and conference rooms.

Community Warehouse is a local furniture bank that has served the Portland area for more than 15 years. They collect donated home goods and work with social service agencies to get those goods in the hands of those who need them most.

The stuff you no longer need becomes the solution for a family in need. At Community Warehouse, it’s the simple stuff – the extra dishes, towels, beds, and more – that changes lives.
