Architecture and Development in PDX
Design Advice documents [PDF] have been filed with the City for Worldmark by Wyndham vacation rentals, at 221 SW Naito Parkway. The site, located in the Skidmore / Old Town Historic District, is currently a surface car park owned by the Goodman family.
As recently as mid-2013, Downtown Portland’s historic—and long vacant—Hotel Cornelius was under threat of demolition by its then owners, TMT. Fortunately the building was sold to Arthur Mutal, a developer with a growing portfolio of adaptive reuse projects. At the time of the sale they were still considering their options for the property, which included “multifamily housing and creative offices”, as reported in the Oregonian.
