The Oregonian visited homes that were listed for sale by major infill developers. These photos show the homes they built and what they replaced.



The photos were collected in reporting a recent series of stories on home demolitions, renovations and infill construction of single-family houses:



» Shortage of lots in the suburbs drives builders to demolish and build in the city



» Homebuyers find competition from builders seeking land



» 10 years of Portland home demolitions in one GIF



» Portland narrows home demolition notification exception; neighbors say it's a good step, but not enough



(These images were previously published as galleries alongside some of these stories. Here's another way to browse them side by side.)
