Located on a full city block in Portland’s Pearl District, the Sitka Apartments provide 210 units, of which 198 are affordable to families earning below 60 percent of median family income. The Sitka Apartments are an important addition to the Portland affordable housing market, as one of the first true “workforce housing developments” in the city. In addition to studio, one- and two-bedroom residential units, the property also includes approximately 7,000 square feet of commercial space, 131 underground parking spaces, and secure indoor parking for 100 bicycles. Other amenities include exercise rooms, laundry, recycling and storage facilities, a community room, landscaped courtyard and free high-speed internet connection. The use of energy efficient windows, ventilation and appliances helps to reduce tenant costs. The project is conveniently located on a streetcar line and contiguous with two future city parks.
