- Remmers Applies for Hawthorne Demolition
PORTLAND, Ore. – A 66-year-old building on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard formerly home to a Chinese import-export wholesale business is in the middle of demolition for a 30-unit mixed-use structure.
The building, first reported on by the Portland Chronicle in November, was built in 1949 on a 10,060-square-foot lot.
In 1995 Spring Market received “appreciative recognition” from the Hawthorne Boulevard Business Association for “an integrated facade and building upgrade.”
The property sold over the summer for $1,400,000 to Hawthorne 31 Apartments LLC, which listed Victor Remmers as its registrant on early applications. Spring Market has since moved its business location.
Hawthorne 31 Apartments LLC is officially registered to VWR Development, which is registered to Vic Remmers and Walter Remmers at 735 SW 158th Ave., Ste. 180 in Beaverton.
In place of the Chinese import-export store Remmers plans to build a four-story mixed-use building with retail at the ground floor and 30 residential units on the upper stories.
This development is located across the street from a four-story 50-unit apartment building built by Urban Development Group, owned by Remmers’ uncle, Dennis Sackhoff.
