Jenny Station – Montavilla News

After a year of inactivity, the Jenny Station Condominiums are under construction again. Crews are installing siding, having just finished wrapping the building a vapor barrier. Located at 2434 SE 92nd Ave, the 15 unit multi-family building begin framing in early 2020. Work all but halted a few months later with only minor progression in the summer months. During the winter, the unprotected wood greyed against the rain and snow.

The new work will seal up the building from further weather damage and potentially make way for the building’s completion. The new three-story apartment building will have a mix of two-bedroom units and one-bedroom units on each floor. The project’s website is no longer online. However, those 2020 marketing materials displayed a starting price of $169,000 for the condominiums.

The majority of the two-bedroom residences are just under 840 square feet, and the one-bedroom units are between 410 square feet and 486 square feet. This project will not provide off-street parking to residents. However, its location near SE Division and I205 allow quick access to bus and Max lines.

Jenny Station is one of the largest developments underway in Montavilla. Its potential to supply entry-level homeownership in the neighborhood could give young buyers options that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Hopefully, this current increase in work marks a return of developer confidence and a future rise in density housing.
