Weekly Roundup: Pepsi Blocks, Morrison Market, Inclusionary Zoning, and more

Pepsi Blocks Phase 1A
The first phase of the Pepsi Blocks will soon be submitted for building permit review, reports the Daily Journal of Commerce. It’s one of the large developments that’s moving forward, at a time when fewer mid-size developments are happening.

Eater Portland wrote about the Morrison Market, the “mysterious new food hall in Southeast Portland“.

The Daily Journal of Commerce covered how costs are escalating for multifamily development*, with a resulting dip in production.

The City of Portland wants to bring in an outsider to see how effective inclusionary zoning has been since 2017 ($) reports the Portland Business Journal.

*This article will be unlocked for the rest of this week. After this week it will only be viewable by DJC subscribers.
