PORTLAND, Ore. – A large multifamily complex has been proposed in the Buckman neighborhood, and while city data does not list the address the Portland Chronicle has determined where the proposed project is sited.

On Jan. 30 the city received an application for early assistance on a six-story mixed use building that would include 80 residential units above retail space.

The applicant on the development is David Mullens, manager of Dennis Sackhoff‘s Urban Development Group.

While the application does not list an address, the Portland Chronicle has determined that the property in question is located at 1111 SE Sandy Blvd., a triangle block near the intersections of Southeast 11th Avenue, Burnside Street and Sandy Boulevard.

The block is divided up into three lots, with the largest used as a parking lot and the other two occupied by a billboard and by Michael’s Italian Beef & Sausage Co.

City and county data shows the parking lot and billboard property is owned by the Joseph A. Mayer Trust, while the restaurant property is owned by the Donald and Carole V. Breese trusts.
Past Urban Development Group patterns suggest the lot to be developed will soon transfer ownership to an LLC bearing the name of the street the development is located on.

While it is speculative, it seems likely the development would be built on the parking lot, which totals 8,763 square feet.

This location is one block east of the Lower Burnside Lofts, which advertise themselves as being “located in the heart of Portland’s new hipster LoBu neighborhood,” and suggest that they will attract music-minded bike commuters.
The location is also two blocks west of Urban Development Group’s upcoming multifamily complex on the site of the former Old Wives’ Tales restaurant.
