    This is a project that's on the boards (distant future?) but the new courthouse location is going to cause a lot of detours and traffic headaches, if you use the Hawthorne bridge often.

    The city tried to strong-arm the developers of the new First And Main tower because they wanted that block for the new courthouse. It didn't work. So, they designated the block in front of F&M (taking their views in the process).

    The Lloyd District is finally getting a residential tower. The area is going to be extremely active with new development like the Cordish Portland Live! project at the RQ and this. It's a shame the convention center couldn't get the hotel deal done. Anyway, here is the proposed apartment building:

    Good luck getting financing for that thing. High-rise multi-family is in the shitter.

    i agree, that is a really dumb idea. I think portlanders are smart enough or cheap enough to not want something like that.

    I wonder how they are going to keep all these black and gray flags (are they the Timbers or the Raiders?) when the wind is blowing?

    God, what a butt-ugly flag, and using Kelly Green (the official color of Boston Massachusets) is not only ironic but retarded as it's the one puky shade of green you'll see the least of (if any) in an Oregon forest.

    You will also never see Oregon rivers or lakes that lame washed-out shade of blue.

    In all it's a dull, meaningless design any 2nd-grader could vastly improve on.

    I say we burn it! :devilwink:
