9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 29 CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL EXHIBITS 210 CENTURY DRIVE BEND, OREGON RELEVANCE • Lead Developer • Multi-tenant Development • Eugene Capital Investor When the City of Bend made the decision not to expand its urban growth boundary their long range planning objectives reset to focus on mixed use infill projects to accommodate the exceptional growth the community is experiencing. During the heavy winter of 2016, exceptional snowfall accumulation on the roof of the vacant Ray’s Grocery store in Bend’s Westside caused the roof to collapse leading to a complete building loss. These two events led Eugene’s G Group, the property owner, to hire deChase Miksis Development to provide complete development services to repurpose the dated shopping center into a vibrant, mixed use center with 20,000 SF of additional retail and 203 apartments. This project meets the long-term planning goals of the city by adding 203 housing units to the city’s core while remaking a dated shopping center into a neighborhood center with open space, housing and shops giving the owner a much improved asset. In order to meet the technical challenges the project presented and the relationships needed to work with the local jurisdiction, partnerships were formed between firms with local knowledge and firms with the background and expertise in this project type. CS Construction and BLRB are the local firms that understand the community and have the relationships with people approving the project. Essex Construction and GGLO Architects are the experts that ensure the design and technical expertise for success. These partnerships equaled more than the sum of their parts providing a lower risk delivery model for this ambitious project. Ap r i l 24 , 20 1 9 , Wo r k Se s s i o n - It e m 1
