Cannery Lofts: Urban Living on Astoria’s Waterfront

July 22nd, 2010 filed under: Astoria Oregon

Cannery Lofts

The Cannery Loft condominiums are located at the foot of 39th Street on Astoria’s waterfront, affording great views of the Columbia River and Pier 39 from most units. The complex was built in phases by Urban Pacific Builders LLC starting in 2006. The 4.5 acre site is located on 39th St. adjacent to the river walk and trolley tracks, just a short distance East of Safeway.

History

The complex includes approx. 93 units in three buildings, the first of which was completed in 2007. Due to the sluggish condo market on the Oregon Coast, sales were slow even as the additional buildings were constructed. The first sales of the lofts were in the high $300k’s, and a few of the top floor units sold for more than $400,0000. In 2009 the developer held an auction to liquidate the remaining unoccupied units, and 20 units were sold at prices ranging from $120,000′s to $160,000′s.
