One of my FAVEorite clients (thanks Adam!) shared an article with me today (see below) that says the Portland Street of Dreams is going to be a “Condo Show” in the Pearl District of NW Portland this year. What a GREAT idea! The previous Street of Dreams homes have had a very difficult time selling and I’ve wondered how much participating as a builder has really cost the poor guys… building those homes is quite an expensive advertisement if they can’t sell them.
Ironically this new Condo Show plan fits in PERFECTLY with Portland… it completely embraces the “Recycle, Re-use” philosophy we have here since building new seems so ridiculous when we have so much sitting “used” or vacant right now.
Along the same lines I would LOVE to see a Street of Dreams based on an entire street of split level entries completely remodeled. It would require alot of talent and creativity to pull that off and not only would it be a nice change but buyers could see the potential in something much less expensive than a $1.5mil plus new constructed home. WHOO HOO! -Kristie McD.
