Condo Development Replacing Gallagher Electric

Bulldozers are clearing land on a two-acre site in Gresham for a 20-unit condominium complex.

The development on Northeast Division and 13th streets is replacing a small building that housed Gallagher Electric. Owner Jack Gallagher has moved the business to 22 N.E. Fourth St., behind Mt. Hood Ballet.

Property owner Wayne Shinn filed for land use permits earlier this year to combine the three tax lots at 2895 N.E. Division St. and allow for construction of the condominiums. Gallagher is a silent partner in the condo project with Canby-based Walter West Construction.

The new complex will contain five buildings, each with four three-bedroom, two-bath units, garage parking and decks. Selling prices will start at $139,000 for the 1,370-square-foot condos.

Walter West built the Emerald Valley condominiums on East Powell Boulevard and 174th Avenue. The complex is slated to open in the spring of 2001.
