Harvey Rice Heritage Affordable Housing

The Harvey Rice Heritage Affordable Housing development aims to lessen the impacts of gentrification in NE Portland by not only expanding housing opportunities but also by honoring and preserving the rich history of the Black community in this neighborhood. It is named for Sabin CDC’s Board Chair, Harvey Rice, and consists of two sites, Isaka Shamsud-Din and Charlotte Lewis.

While separate sites, both complexes are inspired by their artist namesakes, iconic Black artists from Portland, and prioritize bringing communities together through the arts with public gathering spaces, creating highly accessible dwelling spaces, offering a variety of apartment types, and designing for longevity and sustainability. Scott Edwards Architecture uses forms, massing, and color to tell an important story and provide vibrant, comfortable places to call home.
