12 Residences
Whether you are looking to move into the city and “downsize without compromise” from your house or you’re moving to Portland to begin a new chapter of life, 118 offers a new level of urban living. This is Portland living at its peak. Developers Chip Newell and Susan Morris spent four months touring new condominium projects in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto. They also conducted interviews with experienced condo dwellers to learn the features that create ideal condominium living. The results of the research are in the 118 layouts; in the completed homes, you will see floor plans that address crucial elements of daily life such as mudrooms, living areas designed for entertaining, private spacious decks that are easily accessed directly from the living areas; kitchens and baths that function well, have pantries and linen closets and are beautiful. Every home also has a den that can also serve as a media room, home office and an additional guestroom.
To give you a flavor for the research and thought that went into the planning process, take a peek at the sketch below. This is a sample 02 floor plan of approximately 1,900 square feet of truly “livable space.” It offers two bedrooms, plus a den and two and a half bathrooms. We hope it demonstrates the kind of foresight that went into the design of 118.
Everyone’s life is different. At 118, everyone’s home is, too.
Four distinct floor plans allow you to choose the layout that best suits your needs. The common theme of all of the units is the attention to detail and design based on much research and experience in city and condominium home living.
One of the most important factors is the focus on the infrastructure of 118 such as true state-of-the-art energy efficiency, triple-glaze windows and concrete floors. This is the crucial investment in a building as it cannot be easily changed once constructed. Compare the energy efficiency, windows and sound suppression offered at 118 with other homes that you are considering.
Of course, your residence becomes truly your own as you select the exact features and finishes that reflect your personal taste and lifestyle. 118 offers the chance to not only choose everything from cabinets to counter tops to flooring but even fireplaces, laundry sinks and wet bars. Each buyer receives 5 hours with a designer and a $15,000 to $20,000 credit towards customizing your home.

Special Features in Select Residences
