The building is a full-block five-story podium topped with a twelve-story tower. It went under many rounds of design reviews in 2016 and 2017, [1] [2] [3] A 2016 design showed the tower in "earth tone" panels and glass. Portland architecture blog said it was "design[ed] by committee". [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The final design was approved in mid-2017.
