The Gabe
Portland, Oregon
Known as The Gabe, this 121-unit, five-story apartment community is located in SW Portland, adjacent to Gabriel Park. During construction, R&H’s team overcame logistics challenges on all four sides, including a busy street and residential neighbors as well as a creek, church, community center and convenience store. The Gabe’s apartments range from studio to two-bedrooms, with ground-floor amenities and a tuck-under parking garage.
Built to Earth Advantage standards and awaiting certification, The Gabe meets ideal levels for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, resource efficiency, environmental responsibility and water conservation. Several electric vehicle charging stations and 134 bicycle parking spaces are located inside of the underground parking structure. Proximity to Gabriel Park provides lush views from the resident co-working areas, indoor gathering spaces and large outdoor patio.

Progress
R&H brought on RadiusTrack of Minneapolis, MN, to help facilitate the design and engineering of the aperture structural components. After months of weekly cross-country coordination meetings between the project architect, engineer, Radius Track, and R&H, the team created a plan for the apertures that decreased the overall weight by nearly 60 percent and cut weeks out of the project schedule.
