The Meriwether, Condominium towers in South Waterfront, Portland, United States
The Meriwether consists of two residential towers with heights of 303 feet (92 meters) and 265 feet (81 meters), containing 24 and 21 floors respectively. The complex holds 245 residential units in total, including eleven townhomes with private garages.
The Meriwether's two towers were completed in 2006, the first residential development in Portland's South Waterfront district. They were named for explorer Meriwether Lewis, who led the Lewis and Clark Expedition into the Pacific Northwest in the early 1800s.
The two towers are named after Meriwether Lewis, co-leader with William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which reached the Pacific Northwest in 1805. The name ties the condominiums to the explorers commemorated across the surrounding South Waterfront street names.
The two towers stand in the South Waterfront district, south of downtown Portland along the Willamette River. The Portland Aerial Tram connects the district to Marquam Hill, and the streetcar and bus lines run through the area. The complex includes eleven townhomes with private garages.
The architecture was designed by Busby & Associates and GBD Architects to frame views of Mount Hood, Mount Saint Helens, and the Willamette River bend. These sightlines to three natural landmarks create something rarely found in urban residential developments.
