Buena Vista Terrace more information

The development of Buena Vista Terrace entailed the adaptive reuse of the historic and abandoned Third Church Christ Scientist building in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco into 40 units of affordable senior housing. This property includes 33 studios and 7 one-bedroom apartments and accommodates seniors who are 62 years old and older who earn less than 50% of the area median income (AMI). The residents of this project will pay 30% of their income toward rent.

Fitzgibbon Glass more information

The Fitzgibbon Glass Building has been transformed into a vibrant working community consisting of six 4,300 square foot showroom spaces and 10,000 square feet of work/office spaces. Original exposed post and beam construction, 20 foot high ceilings, expansive glass overhead doors and windows give this building unique character for showroom and workspace uses. An additional second story provides one large space with 360 degree views of the city.

Triangle Building more information

The Triangle Building is a fully-renovated, two-story, heavy timber and brick warehouse, offering large exposed wooden beams, and natural brick, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The Triangle Building was built in 1900 and named for its shape - it has curved edges hugging an existing rail freight spur.

Balfour-Guthrie Building more information

The Balfour Guthrie Building is historic in nature and progressive in performance. Originally constructed in 1913, the stone structure has hosted a variety of tenants who have configured and used the space in a number of ways. Where once stood a production machine, however, now stands a daylit design station. The Balfour Guthrie Building's most recent tenant, Thomas Hacker Architects, Inc., redesigned the building and balanced objectives for historic preservation and sustainability by including such features as a high-efficiency heating and cooling system, exposed structural elements, and an integrated daylighting strategy among others. The design has renewed the historic integrity of the building while enhancing its performance 24% beyond energy code.

RiverEast Center more information

The 1951 Art Deco warehouse once moved goods for C&H Sugar and Quaker Oats until 40 years ago when the property was condemned for the unrealized Mount Hood freeway. The $17 million redevelopment now houses 250 people, seven businesses and two non-profits. An old railroad spur is buried at the street level, a remnant from the days when trains would pull up to the loading dock inside the building. Public transportation now delivers employees to the doors of RiverEast Center.

Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center more information

The Natural Capital Center, a former warehouse in Portland's Pearl District, was rebuilt to create a marketplace where innovative ideas for a conservation economy could take hold and flourish. Four distinct rental spaces provide flexibility and easy access from downtown Portland, making this destination ideal for a host of business, community, and social gatherings. The creative use of natural sunlight, soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams and gleaming honey-colored floors invigorate the space and help foster the free-flow of ideas and the building of relationships. The Center has been acclaimed by civic leaders and has already gained recognition as an important contribution to the city's landscape, a unique blend of environmental innovation and historic restoration.

Brewery Block 2 - Brewhouse and Cellar Building more information

The Brewery Blocks, located at the former site of the Blitz-Weinhard Brewery, is a five-block project in the SW section of Portland’s vibrant, post-industrial neighborhood known as the Pearl District.

With the combination of historic preservation of the Weinhard Brewhouse and the Armory Building, and an increase in retail and commercial activity, this area has been transformed into a bustling urban neighborhood. It provides a design that is faithful to the industrial character of the former Brewery and the Pearl District, and is consistent with "environmentally friendly" sustainable development concepts. Gerding Edlen Development is excited to have transformed The Brewery Blocks into livable and usable space that will serve the community for many years to come.
