Our goal is not to build buildings, but places to live. Places that add something to your life. That add something to your neighborhood. That add to the aesthetic good. And that means building in a new way. Choosing sustainable over standard. Choosing to enhance a neighborhood instead of impact it. It means smart over status quo. This is how we think and create.

The South Group is a partnership of Gerding Edlen Development and Williams, Dame and Atkins Development. Together, this partnership has created some of the most forward-thinking, eco-driven and ultimately liveable urban communities in the nation, including Portland’s acclaimed Pearl District and South Waterfront neighborhoods.

As one of Portland's, and the nation's, most recognizable and renowned urban developments, the Pearl District has become an international icon for thoughtful community creation.

As the largest economic development project in Portland's history, the South Waterfront is a 21st century urban neighborhood with approximately $2.5 billion of development planned in the next decade, including more than 2,700 residential units, 1.5 million square feet of space for Oregon Health and Science University, a 250-room hotel, 250,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, a four-acre greenway and a two-acre neighborhood park.

With this depth of groundbreaking experience behind it, South will further their legacy of intelligent and thoughtful residential growth.
