PORTLAND, OR-The Portland Development Commission is lengthening the public process related to the redevelopment of a multi-block area at the east end of Burnside Bridge. Originally scheduled to choose a developer next week, the urban renewal agency’s board of directors has decided not to pick a developer for the project until the end of April in order to accommodate more public hearings on the matter.The Burnside Bridgehead property covers a five-block area between Northeast Second Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Burnside and Northeast Everett streets. If fully built out, the property could hold 450 housing units, 170,000 sf of retail, 150,000 sf of office and 1,200 parking spaces. The developer teams include Gerding/Edlen, the locally based company behind the Brewery Blocks development in the Pearl District; Opus, the Minneapolis-based developer of Bridgeport Village in Tualatin; and locally based Beam Development, which recently renovated the Eastbank Commerce Center building. Originally, Gerding/Edlen and Opus each had big-box home improvement retailers as the project anchors in their proposals and the PDC was to select a developer Feb. 9 (To see the previous article, click here).
