JMA designed the Zeal Lofts currently being constructed by Seabold Construction. Vibrant Cities recently worked with JMA and Seabold on two other Portland developments as well.

Multi-family real estate developer Vibrant Cities started construction on the Zeal Lofts in North Portland last month. JMA designed the 6-story building which will include 215 dwelling units, extensive bicycle storage, 35 off-street parking spaces, and three commercial/retail spaces on the ground floor.

“I am honored to be a part of another collaboration between JMA, Seabold Construction, and Vibrant Cities,” said JMA Associate Dirk McCulloch who will see the project through construction. “I appreciate Vibrant Cities' passion for developing community-focused and much needed housing solutions in the Pacific Northwest and look forward to working with them and Seabold Construction once again.”

The 108,500 SF apartment building will offer common kitchens and laundry areas, two courtyards, as well as a lounge, fitness area, bike storage space, and dog-washing station.

McCulloch attended the groundbreaking ceremony on October 15th. Attendees received a tour of the nearby Ascend Lofts building which was recently named a finalist for DJC Oregon’s TopProjects competition.
