Mount Adams also has small projects

While larger projects like Mount Adams Incline, the Elite and the Palisades of Mount Adams are pretty well known, there are often several smaller infill projects going on at the same time.

Some of the newer projects include a teardown, a large addition, and a land purchase that could lead to new condos.

The blighted property at 1037 Monastery Street (Monastery and St. Paul) is closer to demolition, with permits on the way.

The two-family home was supposed to be demolished in 2005 with plans to construct a new house on the property. Both wrecking permits that year expired before work was done. The property became overgrown and the City ordered it vacant.

A new owner purchased the property for $160,000 in April, and building permits for a new single-family house, which were applied for by the previous owner, are still being sorted out.

At 1237 Martin Drive, a 2,600-square-foot addition will be added to the original structure, which was built in 1864. The addition will take the two-family house to nearly 5,000 square feet.

Fletcher Remodeling & Custom Homes is doing the work. This one may be pricey because of the unstable hillside.

Permits for that project are in route.

Finally, Metropolitan Design and Development have purchased a quarter acre at 941-951 Monastery Street for $205,000. These six parcels start opposite Oregon Street and proceed up the hill.

Metropolitan is the same company responsible for the newer condos on the 1200 block of Elsinore.

No announcements have been made on this land purchase as the sale was only completed within the last two weeks.
