"But this building on the corner of SE 44th Avenue and Division Street, built in 2006, was something of a harbinger for things to come. It was designed by Holst Architecture, one of the local firms then heralded for bringing the urbanist dream of Portland to life. Called the Meranti Lofts for the Meranti wood detailing the exterior, the building has just nine units across its four floors, with this third-floor corner spot currently up for grabs for $550,000."
"If the exterior speaks to the cubic forms of the early aughts, the interior is quintessential loft living, including a spare material palette, high ceilings, and lots of natural light. Only instead of just being one cavernous space, it has 1,185 square feet over two floors, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. There's even outdoor space via not one but two balconies, tucked off of sliding glass doors."
"And while the material palette might be streamlined-wood cabinets, white walls, and metal accents are the reoccurring motif here-it has nice detailing within that tightly curated selection. Think: radiant"
SE Division Street shifted from bungalows, parking lots, and automotive repair centers into a mixed-use neighborhood with new businesses and construction beginning in 2009. A 2006 corner building, Meranti Lofts, served as an early sign of the change. The four-story building designed by Holst Architecture has nine units and features Meranti wood detailing on the exterior. The current third-floor corner unit spans 1,185 square feet over two floors, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The interior emphasizes loft living with high ceilings, natural light, and a streamlined palette of wood cabinets, white walls, and metal accents. Two balconies connect through sliding glass doors.
