A few years back an interesting modern condo development popped up near Portland and 7th Street called Portland II. The builder, Odyssey Homes, built five 4-level condos located in two buildings with the intention of adding additional buildings. The only problem was timing. The first phase of Portland 2 came to market in 2008, about [...]
