The remodeled late 60’s modern style building features exposed original brick and concrete, with extensive upgrades including a newly added 4th floor with great views.

Lofts Are Currently Available for Sale.

Nationally renowned local architects WPa designed the historic-adaptive building remodel for the visionary Portland firm BEAM Development – including the addition of a “jewel box” 4th floor with views of down town and the mountains. WPa’s renovation utilizes the building’s original concrete and brick to great effect, transforming the 60’s “modern” into an elegantly minimal, architecturally progressive, and eminently livable/workable space.

The Lofts offer a unique opportunity for residents to invest in the Milepost 5 community. While the second, larger, phase of the project, The Studios, will be all rental studios, live/work rentals, and commercial spaces; owners in The Lofts will build equity as the community grows, never have to worry about rising rents, and reap more benefits from the community & Milepost 5 programs as the development is completed.

Milepost 5 understands the unique financial situations of working creatives and is committed to developing solutions to make financing possible. Contact the realtors and visit the Steps to Purchase section to find out about owning a live/work space in this unique Community for Creatives.
