Emmons Place

The Susan Emmons project seamlessly combines an adaptive historic reuse and addition to the 1918 Buck Prager building with a new building designed to be compatible with the historic district’s character, to provide 144 new affordable studio units in NW Portland’s Historic Alphabet District. The Buck Prager and its addition will include a 48-unit Permanent Supportive Housing senior serving building that is fully project based rent assisted, and the new construction of a 98 unit general population building with 30 units set-aside for tenants at 30% of the Area Median Income. The project includes a manager’s unit in each building.

Project amenities include: large central community rooms; Property Management, Case Manager, and Resident Services offices; ample bike storage; a light filled quiet interior courtyard; and on-site laundry facilities. The project’s location directly adjacent to downtown Portland, on mass transit, and trolley routes makes it an ideal location for provision of services, proximity to employment, social connections, and supports, as well as tenant enjoyment of NW Portland’s shopping, food, and parks. The project is currently being designed to Earth Advantage Platinum standards with mini-splits, energy star appliances, and fixtures, high insulation values, and green building materials.
