Best of Tour 2.10.2009

Today’s selection for “Best of Tour” is a project in Portland’s Pearl District.  There’s no seduction in the name – Block 90 – so fortunately the condos on the top floor of the four story renovation of the Pearl District’s block 90 (Flanders to Glisan between 13th and 14th) has way more panache than the name suggests.  You may remember this building as the Reed Harris office and distribution center, but no more.  True to the high style of conversions for old buildings in The Pearl, this block is now ‘made over’ as commercial and residential lofts.  It now home to the new Aveda Institute Portland, the essence of cool in salon schools, and 50 Plates, a restaurant with, well, 50 plates of delicious American food.  This is all good!

We’ve determined now that the neighborhood and neighbors are first rate, so how about the condos?

Block 90 residential lofts are very modern with clerestory windows opening to large terraces and city views.  The finishes are high-tech and high-style and the floor plans are mostly open and airy, taking advantage of the sleek design and the wide open views.  Lofts range in size from approximately 800SF one-bedroom homes to almost 1800SF corner units and prices range from $379,634 for a studio to $999,768 for the southeast corner wth wrap around terrace.
