LEVER is honored to work with Home Forward on Block 45, the largest affordable housing development constructed in Portland, Oregon in the last five decades. When complete in late 2019, the project will provide 240 units of affordable for an underserved community of residents, the majority earning at or below 60-percent MFI. The 180,000 sf building is located in the city’s Lloyd District, a commercially vibrant neighborhood and nexus for public transit. Block 45 broke ground in January 2018 and its undulating building form is beginning to take shape.
