Hotel Grand Stark

When the owner of Shleifer Furniture was planning to retire, he approached UD+P about the sale of two properties in Portland’s Central Eastside neighborhood, just across the river from Downtown.

One property, located at 509 SE Grand, was home to Shleifer Furniture’s retail store for 80 years until its closure in 2016. The other, located four blocks away, most recently served as Shleifer Furniture’s warehouse.

Built in 1906, the Shleifer building is a four-story brick masonry building that originally served as a hotel. Though the hotel rooms on the upper floors were shuttered in the 1970s, they remained intact. In 2015, UD+P and Beam Development jointly acquired the building for adaptive reuse. We renovated the building and restored it to its original use as a hotel. Key components of the renovation included the restoration of the historic character of the exterior, modernization of outdated systems, and renovation of the upper floors into hotel rooms. Hotel Grand Stark features 57 hotel rooms, and a ground-floor restaurant, bar and lobby.

In addition to Hotel Grand Stark, UD+P has completed five successful projects in the Central Eastside: American Brush, Frame/Work, Slate, Coffee Warehouse and, most recently, District Office. We are proud that our projects are contributing to the neighborhood’s vitality and prosperity by providing beautifully designed residential, retail and office space.
