Crowned with a 360-degree rooftop deck, The Rodney residential tower offers a mix of layouts from urban studios to penthouses. The 16-story structure houses 230 units and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The Rodney is enrolled in the city of Portlands Multiple Unit Limited Tax Exemption program, and 20 percent of the buildings units are set aside for low-income housing.

The base of the building pays homage to the history of the old warehouses scattered throughout the Pearl District. As the tower climbs vertically, the rigidity and heaviness of the base begin to lighten and a glassier aesthetic begins to emerge. Designers wanted to challenge the traditional notion of a residential lobby and created an active gathering space for group events and a coworking atmosphere for residents.

The LEED Platinum building features water management systems and landscaping; high-capacity bike parking; low-emitting vehicle priority parking; and low VOC materials. Much of the building demolished to make way for The Rodney was recycled, and the project achieved 85 percent construction waste reduction.

The project team also created a parklet near the building because there is a lack of open space in the western edge of the Pearl District.
