The lineup includes 12-story rental housing with energy-saving features, Downtown Rockwood redevelopment and the Rockwood Market Hall, Alta Civic mixed-use projects, and the marquee under-construction mass-timber East County Library, one of the most anticipated buildings east of the Willamette River, designed with features prioritized by the community and built on a former TriMet park and ride.
