We're topped out at Julia West House! 🏗️ 👏 At 12 stories tall, Julia West House is CDP's first high rise and the tallest cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure of its kind in Oregon. JWH is an amazing example of how mass timber can be a viable option for delivering cost effective affordable housing that is sustainable and beautiful. Using mass timber has created impactful schedule and cost savings, making the project possible. The efforts of our team to bring CLT to this project as been a magical dance of collaboration across disciplines and we're really proud to see every major milestone met. The site is extremely tight, which has required our design/build partners to be in lock step with one another at all times. A huge s/o to Holst, Walsh Construction Co., KPFF Consulting Engineers and Carpentry Plus, Inc. JWH is a PSH community designed to serve houseless elders and BIPOC individuals who are exiting chronic homelessness. The building will provide 90 studio and one-bedroom homes with resident services tailored by Northwest Pilot Project, Inc., Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc. (NARA), and The Community for Positive Aging. These organizations will collaborate with Multnomah County’s Joint Office of Homeless Services (JOHS) and the Coordinated Access system to identify and transition future residents into the building.
If any chance, let's us help you with excellent plumbing system: High-Density Polyethylene Pipe System, PP-R Pipes System for Cold & Hot Water Supply, PVC-U Drainage Pipe System for Building, PVC-U Electrical Conduits Pipes, Fresh Air Piping System
It’s a pleasure being able to see the progress! Stopping by to do the accessibility assessments, I’ve had a chance to see it twice now. With both the small size,and the CLT, everything has to be so much more precise and pre-planned. Holst and Walsh are doing a great job!
I've been going by the project on purpose to watch it's construction. Congratulations!! 🎊 I've been meaning to ask for a tour... 🥳
Sounds like a fabulous project
Congratulations, well done!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news Jessica Woodruff. Very grateful for the ongoing work of CDP and all your partners to find or build homes for people in need. Every home counts and I can't wait to see more photos as the work progresses. Congrats to you and the team!

2wWould love to understand how mass timber is cost effective for delivering affordable housing. I have only heard that it is much more expensive than traditional midrise construction types. How many affordable units could have been preserved buying existing midrise projects that are trading for 60% of replacement cost? If the goal is to house the most people, wouldn’t that be more cost effective then a more expensive construction typology?
