Columbia Palisades is the Next New View!

If you have been poking around in East Vancouver lately you probably haven't missed the major construction activity happening on the site of those old gravel mines. The City of Vancouver has created a blueprint for the complete redevelopment of that area into an urban oasis in the largely suburban east side. The development will cozy right up to the Camas border. Many locals think it is Camas due to the encroachment into the 98607 zip code, but rest assured, it is Vancouver. 

This area will featured mid-rise high density apartment and condo developments along with significant office and retail commercial projects to create a real District approach. The location right at the junction of 192nd Avenue and SR 14 freeway will make this a great commuter spot as well as a live work opportunity. 

The 'view' aspect is that this area is literally perched up on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River and with building heights up in the 50-80 foot range many of these residential units will have spectacular views all the way into Downtown Portland as well as the Columbia River Gorge. A row of single family houses is already built up on the highest part of the bluff and these homes have amazing views.

This will be an excellent alternative to Downtown Vancouver with an urban vibe on a smaller scale and likely a little less noise and traffic than Downtown.

Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy the view.
