Roux Institute Campus Development | Portland

[Dr. StrangeHat]

Hey, so heard some rumors. Roux needs a hotel near its de facto short-term housing (or is it really short term?) for visiting short term students and faculty for the Washington Ave burner development that Redfern is developing into 300 plus studios and apartments (a de facto dorm). Across the street all 3 properties are for sale, including the Amvets. What about a small micro hotel, a la The Longfellow or Moxy at Thompson's Point? Put a sky bridge or tunnel across and now they have their de facto social dynamic with the Anderson Street offerings below. That would become a cool hang environment, and since all these students are graduate ones, bars and nightlife will be a big attraction. Money. Lars from Sweden is asking. And Ling Ling from China is wanting.

I'd make U-Haul an offer for this property:

Driving up 295 this morning I noticed they've started groundwork on the garage - partially trenched and some steel being pounded. Between that and the work on the other new building starting to get a feel for it.
