The Portland Design Commission last week approved an eight-story apartment building on a prominent site in Portland's Central Eastside.

The site spans the block-face of Northeast Davis Street between Grand Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, between the north- and southbound Portland Streetcar lines.

The building would include 170 apartments, along with five street-level retail storefronts and 52 underground parking spaces. The construction is valued at $17 million.

The building's developer is Fairfield Residential of San Diego, and it was designed by Portland-based Ankrom Moisan Architects.
