- Sellwood Structures Torn Down for 76 Units
- Seventy-Six More Units in Four Stories Coming to Sellwood
PORTLAND, Ore. – Multiple buildings including a 103-year-old house have been demolished to make way for a 76-unit development encompassing four stories.
The single-family home, located at 7420 SE Milwaukie Blvd., was built in 1912 and sat on a 5,000-square-foot lot. A shed sat on the otherwise vacant neighboring lot.

To the north of the house and shed was a one-story 2,700-square-foot commercial building at 7400 and 7406 SE Milwaukie Blvd. This structure was built in 1948 and hosted several commercial tenants.
In 2011 all three properties sold to Joseph Bradford for a combined total of $716,295. In 2014 Bradford transferred these properties into ownership by Galaxie Apartments LLC, and in April the city received applications for demolition of all the structures on the three lots.

Bradford is a registrant of Urban Evolution Development.
The applicant on all the demolition applications was Mildred White of Bama Design and the contractor was Jacobsen Construction Co.
The buildings were recently torn down.
In May the city received an application for a four-story apartment building with 76 residential units. It states there will be a “basement level parking garage” but does not detail the number of parking spaces.

In May flyers were plastered on telephone poles up and down Southeast Milwaukie Boulevard, bearing an image of Bradford and the plans for the development as well as links to a film called Den$ity and United Neighborhoods for Reform.
