5 MLK is a 200 feet (61 m) 17-story mixed-use apartment and office building in Portland, Oregon's Burnside Bridgehead area completed in 2020. It was designed by GREC Architects and built for Gerding Edlen.
The building is a full-block five-story podium topped with a twelve-story tower. It went under many rounds of design reviews in 2016 and 2017, [1] [2] [3] A 2016 design showed the tower in "earth tone" panels and glass. Portland architecture blog said it was "design[ed] by committee". [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The final design was approved in mid-2017. [9] 5 MLK opened in late 2020 offering high-end apartments and commercial spaces.
The site was previously home to buildings including a three-story quarter-block building constructed in approximately 1912 and historically called the Buckman Building. It was occupied by Fishels Furniture since 1947, which closed in 2016. [10] [2] [1] [11] That building was demolished in early 2018. [12]
