Subject:Tigard Senior Housing Construction Update
Hi Neighbors,
I was asked for an update this week and realized it has been quite a while since my last one….
Summer is here and we are starting to come into our home stretch at the new Tigard Senior Housing Jobsite. The
building has its official name now… Alongside Senior Apartments.
The top two floors of the building are complete and we are just wrapping up small touchups. The 2nd floor and 1st floor
units are nearing their completion as well. Most of the interior activities are now on the 1st floor working on getting the
common areas wrapped up and at the basement units.
With the building interior closing in our efforts have now turned to the site. Utilities around the property are almost
done. Curbs and sidewalks are well underway. We are wrapping up around the existing Senior Center building, and we
have started to work on the new multi-mobile path to the Fanno Creek Trail. July and August activities will consist of
finishing the hardscapes and working heavily on irrigation and landscape. We do anticipate asphalt paving and
reconstruction of the main entry at the end of July. An email will be sent out as this gets closer to communicate the
schedule related to these activities.
Below are some general photo updates of the site from the last few days.
New access to Fanno Creek Trail looking East looking West.
