While affordable housing was initially considered, the developer, Ken Allen, ultimately opted for varied market-rate units aimed at increasing housing diversity for families, individuals, and aging-in-place residents.

The application, submitted on June 10, requests a subdivision/planned development overlay. The design emphasizes open space beyond city requirements, pedestrian connectivity, and architecture consistent with Lake Oswego’s style. The landscaping will aim to foster a strong sense of community and connection to place.
