PORTLAND, Ore. – Development is in the early stages on property currently home to the Oregon Ballet Theatre.

A design firm requested a Pre-Application Conference with the city to discuss a future project at 818 SE 6th, a block between SE Morrison and SE Belmont. Oregon Ballet Theatre is located in the building currently on this block, which was built in 1940.

The conference was scheduled for Nov. 18 at 10:30 a.m.

The application describes a six-story mixed-use building with 220 residential units, ground floor retail, and one level of below-grade parking with 125 spaces.

The development will require a Type III Design Review procedure. This “is required for more complex reviews.” A Pre-Application Conference is the first step. The applicant will keep in touch with the city to complete the application, and will then post notice on the development site at least 30 days before a hearing can take place.

Public notice will also be mailed to property owners within 400 feet, and “recognized organizations” within 1,000 feet. This will occur at least 20 days before the hearing.

The applicant is Kurt Schultz of SERA Design. This design firm has been involved with numerous projects across Portland, including the Collaborative Life Sciences Building, Tupelo Alley, the Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, and many others. SERA collaborated with Gerding Edlen on the Oregon Sustainability Center.

Oregon Ballet Theatre owns the property its building is located on.

Applications do not list a developer affiliated with the project at this time.
