Construction, New Residence

Another Duplex on NE 91st Ave

Foundation work is underway for a pair of homes forming an “H” shaped duplex at 388 and 392 NE 91st Avenue. This project is the second set of houses built by FX Homes on this street, with 380 NE 91st Avenue and 384 NE 91st Avenue already available for purchase. The new single-story townhouses are exact duplicates of the first two and replace a 1925-era single-family residence, deconstructed last year.

This multi-residence development sits across the street from Columbia Christian School and is adjacent to the educational institution’s accessory parking lot. Both dwellings under construction share a fifteen-foot common wall. The homes are on individual lots and can sell separately. Each 1,000-square-foot house has a covered front porch. The entryway leads into a living room with a gas fireplace. The “C” shaped kitchen sits in the center of the home, with a dining nook in the portion of the home that pushes towards the neighboring attached house. A hallway leads past a pantry and laundry closet to the back of the home. The middle of the building has a ten-by-eleven-foot bedroom and a full bathroom. Designers created the “Owners Suite” at the back of the houses with an attached ensuite.

The completed houses are listed for under $400,000 but have not sold yet. A current rental listing for the homes is asking $2,750 per month. The new units just starting construction will likely feature the same finishes and list for a similar price. NE 91st Avenue is a quiet street adjacent to a school, and the building’s single-floor layout would support people with mobility issues. Anyone looking to buy or rent in this area will eventually have four new residences to choose from.

Update May 18th, 2024: Work is nearly complete on the duplex at 388 and 392 NE 91st Avenue.

Update March 7th, 2025: Realtors have the 392 NE 91st Avenue listed for just under $390,000 and 388 NE 91st Avenue sold in February for $380,000.

Construction, Demolition, New Residence

Deconstruction and Development on NE 91st

Exterior work is wrapping up on a pair of connected homes at 380 NE 91st Avenue and 384 NE 91st Avenue. Demolition crews are actively deconstructing the 1925-era single-family residence next door at 400 NE 91st Avenue. The developer of these related projects, FX Homes, will replace that structure with two single-story townhouses.

This multi-residence development sits across the street from Columbia Christian School and is adjacent to the educational institution’s accessory parking lot. Each dwelling under construction shares a fifteen-foot common wall, forming an “H” shaped duplex. The homes are on individual lots and can sell separately. Each 998-square-foot house has a covered front porch. The entryway leads into a living room with a gas fireplace. The “C” shaped kitchen sits behind that, with a dining nook in the portion of the home that pushes towards the neighboring connected house. A hallway leads past a pantry and laundry closet to the back of the home. The middle of the building has a ten-by-eleven-foot bedroom and a full bathroom. At the back of the houses, designers created the “Owners Suite” with an attached 3/4 bathroom.

Interior work on the buildings under construction should conclude in the next few months, with the homes hitting the market sometime this year. After workers remove the nearly 100-year-old house, crews will begin working on the next townhouses. When completed, four new residences will have replaced a single-family dwelling while blending into the scale of the neighborhood.

Construction, New Residence

First of Two Common Walls Coming to NE 91st

Work is underway creating a pair of connected homes on previously undeveloped land at 400 NE 91st Avenue. The new property owner recently split off the side yard from the 1925-era house, making two new lots with an address of 380 NE 91st Avenue and 384 NE 91st Avenue. Each parcel will soon support mirrored single-story dwellings that connect along a fifteen-foot common wall. The developer, FX Homes, has applications to deconstruct the original 1,328-square-foot structure and replace it with another pair of one-level units.

The “H” shaped connected buildings both contain two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each 998-square-foot house has a covered front porch. The entryway leads into a living room with a gas fireplace. The “C” shaped kitchen sits behind that with a Dining nook to the side, fitting in the portion of the home that pushes towards the neighboring connected house. A hallway leads back past a pantry and laundry closet. The middle of the building has a ten-by-eleven-foot bedroom and a full bathroom. At the back of the homes, designers placed the “Owners Suite” with an attached 3/4 bathroom.

Each residence is mostly 15 feet wide with a gabled roof. The architect added window projections along the sides of the buildings, breaking up the long rectangular structures. These compact homes are designed for single-level living and would accommodate a person with limited mobility. The homes are adjacent to Columbia Christian School‘s parking lot and across from a row of classrooms for that school. With a smaller footprint, these houses could be more affordable and attract a different buyer than other recent projects that cater to a high-end housing market. Expect to see the first two buildings taking shape soon, with demolition and more construction occurring in the coming months.
