Welcome to Julia West House—a new affordable housing community in Downtown Portland, offering 90 furnished studio and one-bedroom apartments. At Julia West, housing is just the beginning. All residents have access to on-site supportive services tailored to meet individual needs, including case management, wellness support, and community programming.
Julia West House is a testament to innovation in both design and sustainability. The 12-story, 56,000 square foot high-rise, built using cross-laminated timber (CLT), is the tallest mass timber building in Oregon. This cutting-edge approach not only reduces the building’s carbon footprint but also promotes biophilic design principles, which have been shown to support mental health and well-being—particularly for populations who benefit from trauma-informed design. The building will be National Green Building Standard and Energy Star certified, ensuring long-term environmental benefits while reducing operating costs.
