Foster Commons, Habitat\u2019s 40-home community in Portland\u2019s Pleasant Valley neighborhood, perfectly captures the essence&nbsp;of spring with its new plants and landscaping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not looking like a construction site anymore. It\u2019s starting to look like an actual community with grass and plants,\u201d said the site\u2019s construction superintendent, Travis Schultz.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Present and future homeowners in this community can expect to come home to blueberries, huckleberries, green grass, ferns, and other flowers to brighten Oregon\u2019s everlasting rainy spring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to developing quite the green thumb, Habitat staff and volunteers have been working on paint touch ups, obtaining certificates of occupancy, and handing off more keys to homeowners. Volunteers have just finished building back porches and a bike enclosure just in time for warmer weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foster, Habitat\u2019s most mature site, is expected to be completed \u2013 with all homeowners moved in \u2013 by summer 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Century Commons<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9403-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Portland Youth Builders built and raised several walls at Century Commons over the past few weeks. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9434-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Century Commons, Habitat\u2019s 18-home community in Hillsboro\u2019s Reedville neighborhood, has seen a lot of action in the past couple of months. Young people are constructing the future out at this site, with the Portland Youth Builders and AmeriCorps NCCC being the main volunteer groups to date.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerard Hoogeboom, the site\u2019s construction superintendent, said it\u2019s amazing to help these groups learn and grow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can do that with every age, but it helps to get younger people interested and into it so that in 5, 10, or 15 years, they can work at Habitat, or donate to the organization,\u201d he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both groups, alongside regular volunteers, have been framing the first couple of buildings and pouring the foundational slabs on the others. Gerard said he\u2019s looking forward to having more volunteers on site for framing and making progress in other areas. Daily volunteers should be on site within the next month or so.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up next, staff and volunteers will work on constructing the roof trusses \u2014 which creates a roof\u2019s frame \u2014 and roof sheathing, which is the layer of wood on top of the trusses. Then, it\u2019ll be time to start working on the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical aspects of the site.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swift progress is being made at Century Commons, so keep your eye out for videos and updates on social media!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>West Lake Grove<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"543\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/West-Lake-Grove-rendering.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/West-Lake-Grove-rendering.png 543w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/West-Lake-Grove-rendering-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A digital rendering of West Lake Grove, Habitat&#8217;s future community in Lake Oswego. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s been a significant amount of activity on this site since our last update.&nbsp;This past December, community members, Habitat staff, and locally elected officials <a href=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/celebrating-a-new-chapter-of-affordable-homeownership-in-lake-oswego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gathered for a site celebration<\/a> of this 23-home community in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan Martini, the site\u2019s construction superintendent, said we have now completed mass grading, which means changing the topography of the land to make it more buildable. It was a lot of work; in some areas, he said, there were 10 feet of fill material that they had to bring in and compact to bring everything into the right grade plane.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, Habitat staff are installing new stormwater lines and sanitary sewer lines in the public street. We are working with the City of Lake Oswego to find a traffic control plan to close two northbound lanes of Boones Ferry Road so we can start digging underground, even up to 15 or 20 feet deep in some areas. Once that work is done, we will move onto the site and begin installing the private stormwater and sanitary systems, as well as other utilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of this community is a significant development in affordable housing for Lake Oswego, where the median price of a home is around $900,000.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 23 homes will either have 3 or 4 bedrooms, and all are visitable in terms of accessibility. Many of the homes have a room and a bathroom on the first floor so someone unable to climb stairs would be able to live or visit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This site is on a very similar construction timeline to our community along Taylors Ferry Road, Twenty Fifth Terrace Condominiums. Keep reading to learn more about it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Twenty Fifth Terrace Condominiums<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Taylors-Ferry-Building-4-Rendering-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A digital rendering of one of the buildings at Twenty Fifth Terrace Condominiums in southwest Portland. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The site of Habitat\u2019s 17-home community in southwest Portland has been cleared and graded. Project Manager Leigh Armstrong said that we hauled off a whopping 12,000 cubic yards of dirt in about a thousand well-packed truckloads!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of that dirt went to be repurposed at West Lake Grove, which helped save money and emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the approach at&nbsp;West Lake Grove, Habitat staff are installing stormwater and sanitary lines within the public right of way on Lancaster Road, connecting them to the city&#8217;s system. They\u2019re working their way through the intersection and will soon move onto the site to start installing private utilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love this kind of work,\u201d said Greta Brown, the site\u2019s construction superintendent.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next steps include working on the sidewalks and stormwater bioswale, which collects the stormwater runoff and treats it before the water is discharged to the local waterway.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest difference between this site and West Lake Grove is the steep slope at Twenty Fifth Terrace, which slightly hinders the pace of work. Nevertheless, the sites are neck and neck in terms of progress.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a race to the finish,\u201d Leigh said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March has arrived, and Habitat staff and volunteers have been working hard this winter on all five active construction sites.
