| Harrison Condominium Project Launches Web Site, Announces Initial Pricing from $175,000 LiveHarrison.com will show sample views from the three high-rise towers and allow interested buyers to join the Priority Interest List.
PORTLAND, Ore. – November 28, 2005 – Harrison, the new residential community formerly known as the Portland Center Apartments, has launched its Web site, www.LiveHarrison.com, where prospective buyers can join the Priority Interest List. Only current residents and interested buyers who join the Priority Interest List will have an opportunity to purchase a unit in the first phase. The first condominium units in the Harrison will be available for purchase by spring of 2006 and ready for move-in by summer 2006.
The developers of Harrison also announced that starting prices for units in the first phase will begin at $175,000 for a one-bedroom, $225,000 for a two-bedroom, $350,000 for townhomes and $550,000 for penthouses. The pricing gives the project appeal both to first-time home buyers and to those looking for luxurious urban living. The majority of the units are expected to sell in the $175,000 to $550,000 range. Discounted prices and advance purchase options will be offered to current residents.
"We are delighted at the interest we've seen so far in this new home-ownership opportunity in the heart of Portland," said Scott Stehman of Reliance Development, who is leading the project. "Via our new Web site, prospective buyers can check out floor plans, join our Priority Interest List and even see examples of the stunning views they can enjoy from Harrison."
Harrison's three high-rise towers, ranging from 22 to 25 stories, will be remodeled in phases, beginning with the units in the top half of Harrison West (255 SW Harrison Street). One tower will be fully renovated every 14 months, with final completion slated for September 2008. Interior finishes will include hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, stainless-steel appliances and new bath fixtures and treatments. All common areas, including the beautiful external grounds, will be enhanced.
Unlike many new projects now under construction, prospective residents at Harrison will be able see the unit – and the view – they are buying. In fact, LiveHarrison.com lets visitors experience sample views from low, medium and high floors in the project. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony off the living room offer ample natural light and a variety of sweeping vistas. Penthouse units offer two to three balconies, and the ground-floor townhouses have wood-burning fireplaces.
