Yard, the darkly clad mixed-use tower completed earlier this year in Portland’s Central Eastside, has sold to a Thailand company for $126.68 million.
Approximately 50 percent of the building’s 284 residential units are occupied, according to the buyer, Land and Houses U.S.A. The company is a wholly owned American subsidiary of Land and Houses Public Company Limited of Bangkok, Thailand.
The sale equates to $446,056 per unit. The seller was Block 67, a limited liability company whose majority owner is Hood River-based Key Development, which developed the property. Marcus & Millichap’s Elizabeth Davis represented the seller.

Key Development’s Jeff Pickhardt was not available for an interview, but in an email he stated that the project was leasing as expected – and even slightly ahead of schedule.

Yard, at 22 N.E. Second Ave., is part of a development renaissance at the east end of the Burnside Bridge. Other projects include Slate from Beam Development and Urban Development Partners, the Fair-Haired Dumbbell from Guerrilla Development and 5 MLK from Gerding Edlen.
The building — about 50 percent leased — will be owned by Thailand’s biggest residential property developer. Jeff Pickhardt and the… read article »
