The ROSE CDC and APANO partnership to build a new cultural landmark, an urban mixed-use development of 48 unit residences of affordable housing and an on-site community center located at SE 82nd Ave in East Portland is underway. Building on years of community organizing in one of Oregon’s most diverse neighborhoods, the new $16.5 million dollar development will serve as a bulwark against gentrification and a mission-driven space for communities of color, immigrants and refugees.
ROSE CDC and APANO are pleased to announce our Development Team for the project.

- ROSE Community Development Corporation will own and operate the 48 residences of 100% affordable housing, for households ranging from 30%-60% of median family income.

- APANO will own and operate a 5,000 square foot cultural center and nonprofit offices on the ground floor.
