2401 21st Ave. S., the building is being eyed for seven stories. Bainbridge Island, Washington-based Evergreen Investment Co. has the property under contract and seeks to develop what is currently an unimproved site. (An office building once located on the parcel was razed in 2015.)

Evergreen and its team earlier this week met with Hillsboro-West End and Belmont-Hillsboro neighbors and with Metro Councilman Tom Cash, in whose District 18 the property sits, to discuss the preliminary efforts.
