A year ago we talked with Kevin Cavenaugh. In case you missed
that conversation we recommend you take a listen.
Kevin is a rare developer. Left brain, right brain, head and
heart all come to bear on his wildly creative buildings. He has
carved out a special place for himself in the Portland real estate
world. He has said, “I’m tired of mocha-colored, vinyl-windowed
boring. I can’t change the fact that the streets are gray and the
sky is gray. But the buildings?”
Kevin's projects often have striking facades and far out names
like Dr. Jim’s Still Really Nice, The Ocean, Burnside Rocket,
Rig-a-Hut, Two-Thirds, and The Zipper. Two of his projects,
Jolene’s First Cousin and Atomic Orchard Experiment, have units
reserved for homeless people and social workers at reduced
rates.
