Portland, Oregon – May 2010. Simpson Housing LLLP® opens The Matisse in the South Waterfront area, just south of downtown and minutes from the OHSU campus. The 274-unit apartment community features front door access to the Portland Streetcar; easy access to running, biking and kayaking along the Waterfront; sophisticated apartment finishes and luxury amenities in a smoke-free environment. Simpson Property Group, well known for providing exceptional levels of customer service to residents, as demonstrated by having won the prestigious “A List” Award for excellence in customer service for 6 years running, is excited to add The Matisse to its portfolio of communities in the Portland Metro area. “The Matisse residents will not only feel good about their choice of moving onto a Built Green community, but the convenient location will allow them to depend less on their personal vehicle and spend more time enjoying the South Waterfront and Portland,” said Spencer Welton, Sr. Vice President of Development.
Location is everything and those who live in Portland want to enjoy an active lifestyle and experience the natural beauty that Oregon has to offer. 0677 SW Lowell Street will be the perfect address; with the Willamette River two blocks to the east, and downtown Portland only a five minute ride on a streetcar. Residents can easily enjoy an afternoon kayak trip followed by an evening at one of the fabulous downtown restaurants. “The community is so excited about the benefits of this location that we are offering a free one-year streetcar pass and free year membership to the Portland Art Museum to our first 50 residents” said Julie Ann Coon, Community Manager.
