New construction at 16th & Pearl in Eugene

A local investor bullish on the area just south of downtown Eugene wants to build a five-story building with apartments, luxury condos and space for the Eugene Ballet Company and local arts nonprofit groups.

Alex Haugland’s project, called “The Midtown,” would demolish a small apartment complex at East 16th Avenue and Pearl Street to construct the 65-foot-tall building in its place, according to Eugene architect Paul Dustrud, who is representing Haugland. Essex will be the General Contractor. Mixed-Use Building at 16th & Pearl
