Planning Failures - Cascade Station

2001: CascadeStation

Bechtel Enterprises, in concert with Trammell Crow, will build the Airport MAX extension and develop CascadeStation, a 120-acre parcel along the light rail corridor. The site, located within the Port's 458-acre Portland International Center, is adjacent to I-205. Cascade Station Development Co., proposes an attractive high-density development and transit-oriented design to create a busy employment center anchored by two rail station plazas. The proposal emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly park block environment with open spaces and views of Mt. Hood. Full build-out is expected to take 15 years, creating up to 10,800 new jobs.
