Park Place is under construction!

Monday, February 2nd, 2026
HDG is excited to be providing civil engineering design services for Park Place, a significant new community development in Milwaukie.  The 16.5-acre Park Place project involves transforming the former Clackamas Heights, one of Oregon’s oldest public housing communities, into an inclusive, community-centered neighborhood.  The new neighborhood will feature 200 modern, affordable tri- and quad-plexes in cottage clusters. The existing property and structures from the 1940s have been mostly demolished, and the first building pad has been placed.  Offsite infrastructure work is currently underway that will upgrade the storm system that will service the site.  Additionally, new onsite private roads have been amended with cement to improve bearing capacity for the ultimate road section.  We are excited to watch Park Place continue to evolve in the coming months, with completion scheduled for 2027!
