Corent Capital & Aker Development Showcase a Vision for the Future of Housing in Portland

Corent Capital, in partnership with Aker Development, is proud to highlight this project—a forward-thinking residential development that represents the future of attainable, sustainable housing in Portland.

Recently featured in the PGE Homes of Tomorrow Today, this collection of modern cottages sets a new benchmark for energy-efficient design, urban livability, and long-term value.

Thoughtfully Designed for Modern Living

Located less than a mile from the university, the development offers a carefully planned mix of 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom homes, each featuring 2.5 bathrooms and open-concept layouts.

These homes are designed to balance comfort, functionality, and flexibility—ideal for homeowners seeking modern living in a well-connected urban neighborhood.

Clean architectural lines, vertical wood accents, and expansive windows define the contemporary exterior aesthetic. Inside, bright, efficient floor plans create spaces that feel both refined and practical, built to support the way people live today.

Fee-Simple Ownership Through MHLD

One of the most distinctive aspects of this community is that the homes have successfully completed the Middle Housing Land Division (MHLD) process. This allows each residence to be fee-simple, meaning homeowners own both the home and the land it sits on.

In increasingly dense urban areas, fee-simple ownership is rare—and valuable. It offers long-term security, flexibility, and true ownership, aligning with Corent Capital’s focus on sustainable investments that benefit both residents and communities.

Built to Perform: Energy-Efficient by Design

Performance is at the core of this development. Each home is Energy Star Certified and built to perform on average 30% above current energy code requirements, significantly reducing energy consumption and long-term utility costs.

Key Energy-Efficiency Features Include:

• Solar-ready infrastructure
• Above-code insulation package
• Smart thermostats
• Ductless mini-split heating and cooling systems
• High-efficiency heat pump water heaters

These systems work together to deliver consistent comfort, lower operating costs, and a reduced environmental footprint—without compromising on design or livability.
