MEMORANDUM
Date: January 25, 2017
Subject: Broadway Tower
Dr. Carlton,
I am writing to you because I would like to do my project on the Broadway Tower which is
going to break ground in the late summer of 2018. Located on 1455 SW Broadway St., this
19-story tower will occupy ¾ of the block on SW Broadway between SW Columbia and SW
Clay Streets in downtown Portland. It will include 180 hotel rooms for the RED Hotel on 6
floors, offer 175,000SF of office space on 10 floors, and 2,000SF for ground floor retail,
lobby, restaurant space, and a below-grade garage which will provide parking for 210
vehicles and 132 bicycles. This project caught my interest because it will be a mixed-use
building that will feature Portland’s first Millennial Focused hotel & I’m curious to see the
impacts that it will have on our city.

Opposing Party Concerns:
• Arthur Towers, wrote about the potential loss of trees along with the same concerns
that Marion McNamara & Suzanne Fleming mentioned about traffic congestion
related to passenger and loading vehicles, and that there should be a drive-through
loading dock so that the trucks do not have to back up into anything.
• Ted Chilless, noted that the public benefit should go to Parks because affordable
housing may be developed without Final Findings and Decision for Broadway
