Welcome to the neighborhood
As one of the first residential developments in a historically industrial area of Portland’s eastside, the Modera Belmont apartments bring vitality to their community.
Welcome home
Resident amenity spaces include a lounge adjacent to the lobby, as well as a fitness room, bike lounge and repair room on the first floor. Upper floors feature a video game room, a common room on the top floor, and a rooftop terrace with views of the Willamette River and downtown.
Hints of nature
The interior finishes at Modera Belmont incorporate nature-inspired materials and patterns. Custom wood elements, screens with a biophilic pattern, and combinations of textures create a tactile sense of welcome.
...and play
Modera Belmont's interiors feature design elements and art that emphasize handcrafts and bring a sense of humor—very Portland! The mood is warm and fun, and reflects the quirkiness this neighborhood embraces and celebrates.
The first floor includes a bike lounge and repair room.
The central courtyard provides public space along the street, with private areas further back. The courtyard also manages all of the stormwater on site, through elegant concrete, steel and wood planters.

Steps to building community
Modern Belmont is designed to become a cornerstone of the growing urban development in this area. Having first appeared as an eye-catching new construction, it is now a familiar anchor, and its ground-floor storefronts house popular restaurants and other local retail.
