The Space:

The building’s exterior offers a striking departure from the typical urban landscape, featuring a unique blend of materials and textures. Rusted metal siding, painted stucco panels, and charred Japanese Shou Sugi Ban wood create a distinctive look, making it a landmark along Hawthorne Boulevard. Nestled between Hawthorne’s bustling commercial hub and residential streets adorned with architectural gems from the past 120 years, this building seamlessly bridges the old and the new.



Inside, the design exudes sleek and calming European elegance. Residents will enjoy premium surfaces and finishes, including mini-split heating and cooling systems, stainless steel appliances with dishwashers, in-unit washer/dryers, 9-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and exquisite cabinetry topped with sparkling quartz countertops. This meticulous attention to detail ensures both style and comfort in every corner.



Thank you for considering our place. We hope to welcome you soon!

The Neighborhood:

Commonly known as “Foodie Row,” the Hawthorne/Buckman District places you within walking distance of an incredible array of top-notch local flavors (no chain restaurants here!). Indulge in vegan poutine fries and grilled PB&Js at the Cartopia food cart pod, savor wings right around the corner at Fire on the Mountain, share a pie at Apizza Scholls (consistently voted Portland’s favorite pizza), or opt for an elegant evening at Castagna—all within a 1.5-mile stretch.



Portland's charm extends beyond its culinary delights. The vibrant indie spirit of the Hawthorne area is alive with a multitude of made-in-Oregon shops and boutiques, making it a true hipster haven. Catch a movie at Bagdad Theater and Pub, a revamped 1920s theater turned view-and-brew venue serving local McMenamins food and microbrews.



If bar hopping isn’t your preferred activity, head up to Mt. Tabor, a 196-acre city park atop a dormant volcano vent. Here, you’ll find miles of hiking trails and incredible panoramic views of the city, providing a perfect escape into nature right within the city limits. Whether you're a foodie, a nature enthusiast, or someone who loves exploring unique shops, the Hawthorne/Buckman District offers something special for everyone.
