Ultra-Energy-Efficient 36-Unit Project to be Built in Podium Style Over Parking

In a sign of Bend’s increasing urbanization, a three-story, 36-unit “net zero” energy-efficient multi-family housing development is in the works for the city’s popular Midtown area.

The proposed project, on a 0.63-acre site in the Orchard District at the intersection of Fourth St. and Olney, is slated to include 28 one-bed and eight two-bed units on two levels straddling 44 parking spaces below, for a total 53,300 square feet, in a creative podium style construction.
