John Ross Tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The John Ross Tower is a condominium skyscraper in the South Waterfront neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, United States. It stands at a height of 325 feet (99 meters}, the first building in the district to reach the maximum height allowed for development and Portland's seventh-tallest building. It is also the largest residential building built in Portland since the KOIN Center in 1984. It was designed by the firm of Thompson Vaivoda and Associates and topped out in 2007.^[1] Currently, the tower is undergoing final finishing and homeowners are moving in.

The building contains 31 eliptical-shaped floors and 303 units. The topmost penthouse occupies the entire 31st floor and allows for a full 360 degree view.^[2]
