McCormick Pier Condominiums is a 301 unit
condominium conversion. It was originally built
as apartments from 1982 to 2003. The conversion began
in 2003 along the north end of the waterfront in downtown
Portland and concluded in 2006. The community of 15
buildings was completely renovated along with the 28 slip
Marina.
Each
condominium owner owns one deeded parking space. The parking
is conveniently located near each owner’s condo. Some of
the parking is contained under a large garage (carport) and
remainder is uncovered. The Marina has its own HOA and each
slip is sold separately.
The
building’s exterior was replaced with Hardi-Plank siding
while the interiors were gutted and replaced with new
sheetrock, interior plumbing and electrical. Each new owner
selected their own home interiors from a design center that
included appliances, cabinets, flooring and countertops.
The deck corresponding to each condominium was removed and
replaced with Trex decking. Most of the decks were enlarged
during reconstruction. The windows were also replaced to
take advantage of the fabulous Willamette River views.
The
grounds were updated and each condominium that is a ground
floor unit now opens to newly enlarged patios. The common
areas house fire pits, BBQ grills and enlarged
entertaining/lounging areas around the pool and hot tub.
The landscaping was upgraded to resemble resort style and
luxury living. McCormick Pier has more than ample lighting
and is a sight to see in the evening hours.
The
Portland Development Commission put in an easement from the
McCormick Pier waterfront to the Pearl District. Access is
just a 5 minute walk/jog/bike ride. The community is almost
completely gated in the evening hours. The waterfront
walkway gates are locked at either end of community with
only one entrance from the street side of the condominiums.
There
are also 7 retail/commercial condos located in a large
commercial building along Naito Parkway. A grocery store,
flower shop and coffee bar are an example of a few of the
current businesses in the commercial space.
This
community also has a lot of amenities. The pool and hot tub
are located at the north end of the property and each owners
access to the riverfront walkway is really just steps away.
The walkway/jogging path extends 15 miles along the river.
The
views are spectacular. Views of the Willamette River, Rose
Garden, Steel, Broadway and Fremont bridges, the Convention
Center and it’s towers are all visible from the privacy of
your own home.
They say
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is a must when purchasing a
home!! McCormick Pier is all that and more. The community
is conveniently located near the MAX (light rail), the Pearl
District, and Saturday Market. A Quick walk to the South
Waterfront will allow you to enjoy all the activities the
South end has to offer (The Bite of Portland, Rose Festival,
Beer Fests and so much more). McCormick Pier gives you
both the serenity and peacefulness with all the amenities of
downtown living.
