You might have seen our green letters flying high in several places around the city of Portland, Oregon. As experts in high-rise construction, we own and operate our own cranes. Currently, three of those cranes are at the following projects in downtown Portland:

– Parkview at Terwilliger Plaza, an 11-story, 370,000 SF high rise building set to hold 127 independent living apartments

– Waterleaf, a six-story affordable housing project in RiverPlace waterfront for Bridge Housing

– Holden of Pearl, a 16-story senior living tower in the Pearl District

You can learn more about these projects on our website. Kudos to the fabulous drone skills of Goodwick Creative Services!

Did you know our WALSH teams have been building on university campuses since the 1970s?

We know how to build spaces in which students can unlock their full learning potential. …Read More
