Owner: Killian Pacific

Architect: Sera Architects

Contractor: Lease Crutcher Lewis

Description:

  • 311 units of Market Rate Housing
  • 7 stories over 2 levels of commercial and parking
  • 439,060 GSF, 254,900 RSF, and 17,450 square feet of commercial space

The Situation

In addition to the challenges of constructing a large “high-end” product in Bend, Oregon, goals not customarily imposed were placed on the project:

  • Equitable Participation – The Owner aims to award twenty-five percent (25%) of the total development cost to women and/or minority-owned business enterprises (“WMBEs”), LGBTQ, persons with disabilities, and other underrepresented communities.
  • Sustainability – The Project is targeting multiple sustainability certifications, including striving to achieve LEED Gold and Fitwell certification. The Project will be Net Zero-ready and will only incorporate the potential use of gas in its retail spaces; all residential units will be fully electrified. The Project is also on track to fulfill all necessary requirements for the Energy Trust of Oregon (“ETO”) path to net zero certification.
  • Affordable Housing – We are currently aiming to provide affordable housing within the Project at a mix of 10%-20% of units at 60%-80% of the average median income.
  • Childcare Facilities – The Project on the eastern ground floor has 12 townhomes. The two northeastern townhomes are designed to be in full compliance with State in-home childcare requirements. More specifically, the units incorporate greater than 620 square feet of available common area space on the ground floor of the unit to accommodate the maximum available capacity of 12 children for certified family care.
