Located at 3738 SE Nehalem St., the house was built in 1923 and sat on a 7,500-square-foot lot. As reported on by the Portland Chronicle in May, the city received an application for demolition of the house in late April.

To date there have been no recent sales recorded of the property by the city, county or real estate databases. City and county records continue to list the owner as Anita Ferron.

But development company Renaissance Custom Homes, registered to Randal Sebastian at 16771 Boones Ferry Road in Lake Oswego, was the contractor on the demolition. The applicant was Kevin Partain of Urban Visions.

On May 19 the city received applications for construction of two new houses by Renaissance Custom Homes on the property, each a two-story house with an attached garage.

As reported in May, this demolition and redevelopment is taking advantage of underlying lot line regulations, which is how the developer can built multiple houses on 7,500 square feet of land in an R5 zone that limits future land divisions to a minimum of 5,000 square feet per lot.

Plans on Renaissance Homes’ website indicate what will be replacing the demolished home. The house listed carries an estimated price of $729,900. The construction permits are still under review.
