The Casey and Art Exhibit
I really don’t approve of 3/4 million dollar one bedroom apartments. But that’s all the rage in the Pearl (and everyone loves to complain about the Pearl). The upcoming “The Casey” at NW 12th and Everett will be just full of these expensive little gems (61 apartments in a 12 story building). Supposedly, about half of these uber-expensive living quarters have already sold. To whom? Like I’ve wondered before, who actually lives in these buildings? Why not just buy a nice place in the West Hills?
At least they’re trying to make The Casey more environmentally friendly than your normal luxury apartment tower.
In any case, one of the reported “amenities” of the building is attractive glass art facade. The Bull’s Eye Gallery is hosting an exhibit on the enmeshed glass art and architecture that will go into the The Casey, called The Casey Story: Art Into Architecture.
From the Portland Art Center website:
From January 19 to February 24, the Bullseye Gallery will dedicate the front exhibition area of its Pearl District gallery to telling the story of a unique collaboration: Gerding/Edlen Development, GBD Architects, Bullseye Glass Company and local artists working together to integrate glass and art into the architecture of GED’s 16-story quarter-block condominium tower, The Casey, that is rising immediately to the east of the gallery - as the glass artwork “cooks” in Bullseye’s factory kilns across the river.
