Legin Commons, a new development from Our Just Future, Edlen & Co. and APANO is located next to the Portland Community College Southeast Campus, and includes 63 2+ bedroom units for families with children and 20 units for extremely low-income households.

The large, leafy site, made available for development by PCC, is right on the frequent FX2 Trimet bus line and near schools, groceries, and parks. and includes a playground and picnic areas. Utility costs will be offset by high-efficiency HVAC and a solar array funded by the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund. The project was designed by Bora Architecture and LMC Construction served as the general contractor.

Legin Commons was made possible by the voter-approved Metro Affordable Housing Bond, which has now opened 18 projects containing 1392 affordable homes, with 762 in progress. We are grateful to metro-area voters for this critical homelessness-prevention investment.
