Haugh tells GlobeSt the apartment complex is now 85% leased up and other portions of Fairview Village are on the way. The five-year-old project already includes 200 homes and rowhouses that have been built and occupied, a school, a preschoo, a city hall, a gym and a post office. When complete, the community will include 600 residential units, more than 10 acres of retail and commercial space and 130,000 sf of office space.

This summer, a 4,000-sf library will open below four apartment units in Fairview Village as the first phase of a 24,000-sf, 28-unit development. As well, a portion of the project was recently sold off to Target Inc. for a new retail location, says Haugh.

"That puts into play another 4.5 acres next to Target for a pharmacy and a specialty grocer," says Haugh. "The office market is extremely young out here, but because of the industrial growth in the area and the tremendous demographic growth in the Gresham Market, we think it's a market that will come, and when it does this will be an ideal location."
