One of the Pearl District’s oldest conversions, the Chown Pella condominiums offer the finest in classic loft living. Originally built in 1912, the Oregon Transfer Company and several Portland manufacturers called this building home until its 1997 restoration. As the first housing renovation in Northwest Portland, the lofts helped spur the neighborhood’s miraculous transformation.
Each of the 68 units boasts 11 to 17 feet-high ceilings of the building’s original planks supported by powerful wooden beams. Yet, the lofts are not at all Spartan – several luxuries include: marble bathrooms; granite kitchens; birch floors; gourmet appliances; as well as built-in TV and stereo cabinets.
The Chown Pella lofts expertly balance the feel of old Portland with such up-to-date amenities as electronic security systems, high-speed elevators, structural and seismic upgrades, and one of the largest indoor parking spaces in the district.
The icing on the cake is a rooftop garden and deck for quiet relaxation or for entertaining a small group of friends.
