Transit-Oriented Development

In NE Portland, we’re working in partnership with BRIDGE Housing to deliver a transformational affordable housing and public infrastructure transit-oriented development at the Hollywood Transit Center. BRIDGE Housing aims to deliver 100% permanent affordable housing on part of the site. This multi-year project will bring vibrancy to this under-used site, providing quick connections to MAX trains and bus lines.

The housing part of the project, called hollywoodHUB, is led by BRIDGE and includes a 13-story building with 222 permanently affordable homes for families and individuals who earn 60% or less of Area Median Income. The building will include indoor and outdoor community spaces and will have resident supportive services and programming provided by Hacienda CDC.

The project will also replace aging infrastructure at Hollywood, improve connections to the MAX station and make street and intersection improvements at NE Halsey and 42nd Avenue. That construction is underway and is expected to be complete by mid-2026.

A partnership between TriMet and Multnomah County is breathing new life into an underused Park & Ride in Gresham. On June 16, 2023, the Gresham City Hall Park & Ride closed as Multnomah County prepares the site for the new East County Library, a 95,000 square foot building with access to transit.

In July 2022, Multnomah County agreed to purchase two-thirds of the TriMet-owned Park & Ride, with an eye on developing a flagship library in East Multnomah County, where roughly 40% of the county’s population now resides. The new library, scheduled to open in 2025, will rival Multnomah County's Central Library in size and feature community amenities like an auditorium and public plaza.

In April 2021, we completed a TOD deal with Clackamas County and developers Geller, Silvis & Associates and Guardian Real Estate Services to create the Fuller Road Station Apartments just steps away from the SE Fuller Road MAX Station.

The developer re-purposed approximately one-third of TriMet’s under-used Fuller Road Park & Ride site to create a six-story, 100-unit building that is entirely dedicated to affordable housing. The project was completed in November 2022, and was fully leased by March 2023. Project partners included DevNW and Clackamas Women’s Service, to provide a community for individuals aging out of the foster care system and survivors of domestic abuse. The affordable homes are for residents and families earning between 30% and 60% of the Area Median Income, and they can be accessed via a new street linking Fuller Road to the MAX station that also unlocks residential development land south of the project.
