GRESHAM, OR-The first mixed-use, urban transit-oriented project in this city on Portland’s northeastern border has earned City officials here the 2001 Professional Achievement in Planning Award from the Oregon chapter of the American Planning Association.

The project is Gresham Station, the first phase of Gresham Civic Neighborhood Plan, which consists of nearly 300,000 sf of retail and office space. Designed to emulate an urban village, it includes wide sidewalks and plazas, a lake element and diverse architectural styles.

The project, completed by Center Oak Properties, is complemented by two light rail stations, one on the edge of the project and one in its heart. About 90% of the retail is spoken for along with about two-thirds of the 20,000 sf of office space. Already open in the retail space are Gap, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond and Borders Books. Another building nearing completion will house Red Robin, Dress Barn, Men’s Warehouse, Kay-Bee Toys and Honey Baked Ham. As well, a lease with Portland Teachers Credit Union is being negotiated.
