    This has turned out a million times better than the original renderings!

    Ultra-modern design in the heart of the skyline.

    An Energy Trust of Oregon rebate and a Portland General Electric green-energy grant will cover $133,200 of the solar station's cost, TriMet said.

    Even then, however, it would take about 65 years – at current rates – to pay off the 52-mile MAX system's first experiment with solar power.

    Bob Hastings, the TriMet architect in charge of the solar-power structure, said the equation is more complicated. The agency, he said, is being more optimistic about its rate of return. "It will be more like 22.3 years," he said.

    Portland looks awesome when it's sunny. I get that you don't get as much greenery when you don't have rain, but still, it's so dreary for like five straight months of every year.

    While I'm still not impressed with the savings or returns, or however they are looking at this..... I can say a significant portion of those savings/returns do come within the first few years, because of how the credits from Federal and Oregon, plus the OR trust rebates, work..... So it's not as bad as it really sounds.... But not as good as I'd expect for this sort of project.

    Not nearly as retarded as the tram situation, anyhow.... But what possibly could be?

    New Lloyd District aparments proposed:

    [​IMG]

    (via OregonLive)

    Wow, if these get built in addition to the 32-floor Hotel Tower proposed by Weston Development the Lloyd District is going to have a totally different feel.

    It's great to finally see high-rises proposed again. We really haven't seen this since 2006-ish. There has been a ton of mid-rises popping up all over downtown and the Lloyd District this year.
