ART Tower brings 314 apartments to a half-block site next to Portland’s renowned Artist Repertory Theatre (ART), enhancing the vibrant cultural district of Goose Hollow. This 21-story residential tower is designed to attract new artists and performers while strengthening the connection between residential living and the arts. At the ground level, a stage-like lobby invites interaction with its oversized, open design, offering space for live performances and art installations that celebrate the theater’s influence. Mirrored, sloping soffits at the rooftop amenity space continue the theatrical theme, reflecting activity below and creating an immersive, engaging atmosphere for those inside and out. Developed in collaboration with Wood Partners, ART Tower is Portland’s first high-rise to incorporate the city’s Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) code, ensuring a portion of units are designated as affordable housing. The building’s design, inspired by the dynamic energy of the nearby theatre, emphasizes a highly interactive street-level experience. The extensively glazed base is recessed and detailed to evoke the feel of a theatre curtain. Retail and restaurant spaces further animate the ground floor, creating a vibrant, accessible destination for both residents and visitors. Two levels of underground parking provide convenient access for all. Inside, the lobby makes a striking impression with its dramatic double-height ceilings and stage-like design. This expansive space is not only visually arresting but also serves as a venue for live performances and rotating art installations, deepening the connection between ART Tower and the Artist Repertory Theatre. Further enhancing the sense of community, a shared courtyard functions as a backyard for both residents and theatergoers. A commissioned gate by Portland artist Ivan McLean, inspired by a Venn diagram, symbolizes the intertwined relationship between ART Tower and the theatre. ART Tower represents a bold new chapter in Portland’s urban landscape, blending contemporary design, artistic culture, and a commitment to affordable housing through the city’s Inclusionary Zoning initiative.
