Rockwood Rising

Rockwood Rising We're creating an economic engine to transform Rockwood into a prosperous, healthy, and thriving community that provides opportunity for all. Stark St., and E.

The 5.5-acre Catalyst Site is bounded by S.E.185th Avenue, S.E. 187th Avenue, S.E. Burnside St . It sits at the center of Rockwood - and at the center of the City's plans to energize this neighborhood, which is now the youngest, most diverse neighborhood in the Portland metro region. The GRDC's vision is to create an economic engine in the heart of Rockwood that supports local entrepreneurs and li

ving-wage jobs. Anticipated uses might include a marketplace for local vendors, offices for community medical care and professional services, spaces to access computers and other technology, classrooms for job training and health care courses, a high-tech workshop for members of the community to develop their own products, incubator spaces for area "food-entrepreneurs" and space for local retail stores and restaurants. As part of the overall strategy, the GRDC is committed to building on the voices and resilient work of the Rockwood community. This project will provide resources and opportunities to get engaged and participate in making this community vision a reality.

General information

Hello Rockwood, My name is Roy Kim and my company, RKm Development, has partnered with the Gresham Redevelopment Commission (GRDC) for the exciting development of the Rockwood Rising site. We are honored and eager to have this opportunity to create a new community gathering place in the heart of your energetic, growing community. Our experienced staff of designers is currently engaged in the extensive planning process, along with our friends at GRDC. We are working with YBA Architects, Place Studio, and Robert Foster Associates to develop a space that this community will be proud to call its own. Rockwood is a special place. We want to create a space thoughtfully and carefully, with the hopes of building something that everyone can take pride in and engage with. Your help will be critical to designing, developing, and building a community that meets your needs. We look forward to the opportunity to design this together. Additionally, we want to learn more about you! You can call us at: (503)618-2416, or email us at: rockwoodrising@greshamoregon.gov. Thank you, Rockwood community, for allowing us the opportunity. Together, I wholeheartedly believe that we can make Rockwood rise. Sincerely, Roy Kim
