Otak Provides Services for Another Project at Columbia Palisades
December, 2020
Otak has been instrumental in another project now under construction at Columbia Palisades in Vancouver, WA.
Romano Development, Vancouver, WA, is developing the Boulder Ridge at Columbia Palisades site. The site is an exclusive river view property with 24 luxury townhomes. These townhomes sit atop a prominent bluff with exquisite views overlooking the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Otak completed the land use permitting, infrastructure design, and site engineering to support the construction of this project, which is presently under construction.
Otak has also been leading the planning, design, and permitting of The Ledges, a project that includes two distinct towers of luxury apartments and condominiums, also with stunning 180-degree views of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge. This project sits atop a subsurface parking structure built into the solid rock and includes common space amenities that take advantage of the views such as an outdoor pool.
Columbia Palisades is a master-planned redevelopment of an 84-acre former rock quarry site, located at the interchange of State Route 14 and SE 192nd Ave between Vancouver and Camas, WA. Working closely with the City of Vancouver, Otak designed and permitted a planned development that features a mix of luxury and affordable housing options, office buildings, commercial and retail spaces, a medical clinic, and a hotel. These buildings are surrounded by more than 30 acres of open and park space.
“The Columbia Palisades site offers a thoughtful blend of homes, services and retail, employment, and recreational spaces, all within walking distance. And, the views are stunning. It’s another example of our collaborative team of professionals working successfully to repurpose a mined quarry into an enjoyable place for folks to live, work, and play,” says Tim Leavitt, PE, Otak’s Director of Operations in Southwest Washington.
