The South Waterfront, the largest and most expensive redevelopment effort in Portland history, is in the process of transforming an abandoned 130-acre industrial brownfield along the Willamette River south of downtown into a $1.9 billion high-rise neighborhood as dense as parts of Manhattan. The eventual plan calls 20 high-rise buildings that will be built on the site. This includes medical offices and labs for Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
The Portland Development Commission (PDC) signed an agreement with OHSU and a group of waterfront property owners that cleared the way for construction of a 38-acre central district, which includes 3,000 residential units, one million square feet of office space, 150,000 sq. ft. of retail and a hotel/conference center.
