Yard is a 21-story, 206-foot (63 m)-tall apartment building built at the Burnside Bridgehead in Portland, Oregon's Kerns neighborhood, in the United States. [1] [2] It was designed by Skylab Architecture for Key Development Co. of Hood River and Guardian Real Estate Services of Portland. [3]
Yard includes 21 above ground floors. [4] The 206-foot (63 m)-tall concrete and glass high rise was designed by Skylab Architecture. [4] It is a mixed-use development with ground floor retail and 284 apartments. [5] [4] The sixth through eighth floors are set aside for working-class studio apartments, available through a lottery process.
Given its appearance, the building is referred to as the " Death Star" and was dubbed "the new apartment building you'll love to hate". [6] [7] [8]
The Portland Development Commission started buying land at the east end of the Burnside Bridge about 2000 for a redevelopment project, eventually spending $11 million. [9] Plans were first submitted to develop the property in 2006, but eventually the project was delayed due to the Great Recession. [9] Construction began in October 2014 on what was estimated to be a $58 million project. [10] The building topped out in January 2016 with a ceremony attended by Congressman Earl Blumenauer. [5]
The Yard is the winner of a 2018 honor award from the American Society of Landscape Architects. [11]
