The Prime

Scope of Work

Reveler and Avest have submitted a Joint Major Site Plan Application (approved on 1/14/25) that proposes the phased redevelopment of 123 new residential units across several underutilized parcels within downtown Portland. As Co-Applicants, Reveler and Avesta intend to construct this project in three phases. This is Phase 1: Construction of a 42,279 sq ft, 48-unit apartment building at 193-197 Oxford Street. There is an existing 2 ½ story building and a 1 story building currently located on the site that are to be demolished. The new building is 5-story, podium construction with basement level parking. This phase has a tax deal that will create a tax increment financing district, which will allow 56 percent of the development’s property taxes to go toward subsidizing the housing for 30 years.
