Village At Lovejoy Fountain
Portland, Oregon

VLMK Consulting Engineers provided structural engineering services for this Village at Lovejoy Fountain downtown residential project.

The project incorporates approximately 200 residential living units that sit atop two levels of parking space, including an interior courtyard with additional parking below. Construction included concrete post-tensioned slabs at the garage and courtyard levels with cast-in-place concrete shear walls and columns. The upper level apartment spaces were built with five stories of light wood framing. This project was one of the first of its kind in the City and was built under a special ordinance that allows five-story wood framing as part of the Citys effort to increase urban housing density.
