Atop the strikingly beautiful KOIN Centre is a residential enclave of 44 luxury condominiums that have an unparalleled and panoramic view of the city of Portland and the scenic landscape from Mount Hood to the Williamette River. As Project and Construction Manager for the entire project, RECL was responsible for the Building Construction and the Fit-up of the condominiums. Entrance to these condos is via a courtyard of lightly broomed concrete with granite feature-strips and granite planters. The entry doors have carved limestone overtop and open to a private lobby. The floors are Italian travertine with walls of painted veneer plaster and anigre wood paneling. The condos are serviced by two private elevators and are protected by the most advanced electronic surveillance systems, including audio-visual connections from the lobby to each individual home. Condominium suites include parquet flooring, masonry and painted gypsum board walls, nine foot ceilings, and extensive use of double glazed window walls with multifaceted corner bays creating a marvellous integration of interior and exterior space.
