The Pinnacle Condominiums are located at 1255 NW 9th Avenue - Next to Tanner Springs Park. With an L-shaped design the Pinnacle is one of the few buildings that is a high rise and a low rise with a 14 story high-rise tower with condos and a seven story low rise with townhomes. Established in 2006, The Pinnacle is a sleek, modern 14 story tower with 176 condo units located at NW Northrup (and NW Overton) between 9th and 10th Avenues. Positioned in the Pearl District, Portland’s most exciting neighborhood, it is just steps away from shopping, art walks, and dining at any of the numerous, diverse neighborhood restaurants. Also located just a block away, the Portland Streetcar offers an alternative, green-friendly way to access other neighborhoods within and beyond the City of Portland. From inside the Pinnacle, you have 360 degree views of downtown Portland, the West Hills, North to the Freemont Bridge, and East to the Willamette River and the Cascade Range, where Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens punctuate the landscape. The Pinnacle was conceived as a part of Hoyt Yards in the Pearl District on land formerly occupied by the Union Pacific Railroad. Andersen Construction, Inc. served as General Contractors and Architecture was by Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects. According to Andersen Construction, 15,300 cubic yards of concrete were poured around 436,000 pounds of reinforced steel during construction of The Pinnacle. It took as long to excavate the basement and pour the concrete to ground level as it did to pour from the 2nd floor to the roof. It took 73,500 man hours to place and finish the concrete. If one person were to work 40 hours every week, they would have to work for over 35 years to achieve the same result. The concrete and steel superstructure is largely enveloped by a glass curtain which does as much to provide for the striking exterior aesthetic as it does providing residents with outstanding views from the interior! Upon completion in 2006, The Pinnacle was twice honored with an award for Excellence in Construction (Mechanical over $1 Million) by the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. as well as an award for Excellence in Concrete by the Oregon Chapter of the American Concrete and Aggregate Producers Association.
