Development costs of the conversion are estimated at $120 million. The properties — 101 and 102 Merritt 7 — will be converted into apartment buildings totaling 286 loft-style units. Situated within the Merritt 7 office park, the eight-story buildings together comprise 511,000 square feet and were the first of the six buildings constructed at Merritt 7 in the early 1980s.  Amenities at the redeveloped properties, dubbed M7 Lofts, will include more than 1,300 parking spaces and a landscaped top-level deck with a lawn, swimming pool, dog runs, a putting green and a bocce ball court.  M7 Lofts will offer a mix of 42 studios, 167 one-bedroom units and 77 two-bedroom apartments averaging 983 square feet in size. Twenty-six units will be designated as affordable under the city’s inclusionary requirements.  “While some developers may have looked at these buildings as a teardown-and-rebuild opportunity, we saw the value in reusing what was there,” says Greg Belew, co-founder of Saber-Hightower, which is based in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. “With 11-foot …

Portland Multifamily: Stabilization After a Historic Supply Cycle

by John Nelson

— By Jordan Carter and Clay Newton of Kidder Mathews — Portland’s multifamily market is showing signs of stabilization after working through one of the largest apartment construction cycles in its history, compounded by one of the most dramatic swings in lending rates in recent memory. This combination compressed investment activity, weighed on asset values and drove sales volume to decade lows. Demand remains healthy, with apartment absorption over the past 12 months totaling about 3,500 units, in line with long-term historical averages and nearly double the trough of 2023. Vacancy currently sits at 7.1 percent, down from its 2024 peak and below the national average of 8.3 percent. The most consequential shift is the rapid decline in new supply. As of mid-2026, about 2,400 units remain under construction, totaling roughly 1 percent of inventory growth. Deliveries in 2025 were half of 2024 levels, and 2026 is projected to be half of 2025. This is creating the lightest new supply environment in more than a decade as higher interest rates, rising construction costs and tighter lending standards have constrained development. Rent growth remains under pressure but should bottom out near-term as the supply demand balance continues to tighten. Asking rents …
