Entitled 8-Unit Development Site - West End - IZ Exempt

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY: Entitled 8-Unit Site in Portland's Coveted West End — 100% Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) Exempt. Avoid the multi-year planning hurdles. This premium corner parcel is sold fully de-risked and conceptually entitled, packaged with a formal Zoning Summary Memorandum (Perkins Thompson) validating a full 8-unit build, alongside an architectural massing study (Kaplan Thompson Architects). By staying under the city’s 10-unit threshold, this project is entirely exempt from Portland’s strict Inclusionary Zoning mandates, affordable housing quotas, and fee-in-lieu penalties. Unmatched natural topography unlocks spectacular, unobstructed inner harbor and active boatyard views that begin directly from the ground-level grass and expand into a panoramic sweep from the upper floors and potential 45-foot rooftop deck. The site sits entirely outside the Historic Overlay District, and the natural downhill slope perfectly accommodates street-level, tucked-under parking to drastically minimize excavation costs.
