Bob Thompson of Thompson Viavoda & Associates handled both the original design and the redesign. Hoffman Construction is the general contractor and the leasing agents are Mark Fraser and John Kohnstamm of Colliers International.

Mark Perniconi of Vancouver, WA-based C.E. John Properties tells GlobeSt.com his company's property at 10th Avenue and Hoyt Street, previously a five-story residential and office project, could now be twice as tall and all residential, though no decisions have been made. "We're now looking at a blank slate," says Perniconi, who wasn't as far along in the development process as Prendergast. "A decision will be made in a month or two."

The changes are the result of the city extending height bonus rules already in place for buildings north of Lovejoy and south of Hoyt, says city planner Graham Clark. The rule allows property owners to exceed the 75-foot height limit in certain areas of the River District where larger buildings would not block existing public views of the historic clock tower atop Union Station at Northwest 6th Avenue and Johnson Street.
