CMI NORTH APARTMENTS
Grand Ronde, OR
This project, delivered in two phases, is part of an affordable housing development for tribal members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR).
Phase One of the project consists of five 3,660 sf buildings. Each 2-story building has three 2-bedroom units, a single 1-bedroom unit and a common laundry room on the ground floor. Two of the units are fully accessible. The buildings were designed to maximize views and daylighting. Living spaces are open and airy, with terrace doors opening onto private, covered outdoor spaces. Each building has its own carport.
Completed in 2019, Phase Two of the project added 2 new buildings to the existing development. Each two-story building holds 4 affordable apartments with individual entrance and porches. The project includes associated site and utility work, and 2 carport structures.
Phase Three, currently underway, brings the total number of units up to nearly 100. This phase adds fifteen additional buildings. Concurrently, alongside the housing projects, MCA is designing a Resident and Recreation Center, adding flexible community gathering, activity, and recreation space.
Other projects with the Tribe include a new Language Education Building, allowing for the expansion of available space for its language programs; and the Ceremonial Plank House, a project constructed by and for tribe members as a space for Native American ceremonies and meetings.
