Gramor says local team is key Local investors will assure a community-based approach to development of Vancouver’s prime waterfront project on the newly acquired Boise-Cascade site, according to Gramor Development president Barry Cain. Gramor closed the deal on the 32-acre Columbia River site west of the Red Lion Hotel at the Quay and south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe east-west railway berm in downtown Vancouver. Gramor, which has 20 years’ experience developing real estate throughout the Vancouver-Portland area, has developed and has in development more than $1 billion worth of retail and mixed-use projects. Working with Gramor are the following local investors: Steve and Jan Oliva, Allan and Saundra Kirkwood, Steve and Jo Marie Hansen and George and Paula Diamond. At stake is a little over one-third of a mile of Columbia River real estate. “The project will restore the city’s relationship to the waterfront, reconnect people with their river, and provide economic benefits to the city,” Cain says. Mixed-use planning currently calls for a hotel, residential, retail and commercial spaces, and public spaces. Gramor’s lead architects, Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects, are expected to complete a master plan later this year. Financing of the project was handled by First Independent Bank, working with West Coast Bank and Baker Boyer Bank. Port of Camas-Washougal
