Project Description
Additional affordable housing units have arrived in Portland’s Laurelhurst neighborhood with the construction of the Anna Mann East Building.
Todd Construction added a three-story, wood-framed apartment building with 50 units, a daylit basement and parking area to the existing Anna Mann campus. Another general contractor was hired to renovate the existing historic building and auditorium into affordable apartments while also building a new four-story structure with 40 units. In all, 129 affordable housing apartments were added.
The new building was designed to complement the architecture and character of the existing Anna Mann House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Innovative Housing Inc. was recognized with the 2024 DeMuro Presentation Award by Restore Oregon for its historic restoration efforts on Anna Mann and several other projects.
Innovative Housing Inc. encouraged using underrepresented groups as subcontractors on the project. Todd extended 35% of the work on the project to such groups, exceeding the owner’s goal.
The project broke ground in February 2022 and it was completed in spring 2023. The Anna Mann House was named a TopProjects winner by the Daily Journal of Commerce in Portland.
