Named after Timothy Sullivan, an Irish immigrant who settled there in 1851, Sullivan’s Gulch has deep historical roots. Initially covered by dense fir forests, it served as a peaceful picnic getaway for locals. However, the late 19th century saw increased development due to prosperity and the unification of nearby cities. The neighborhood is bordered by Lloyd District, Irvington, Grant Park, and Kerns, which features a mix of beautiful Craftsman Bungalows, mid-century homes, Victorian architecture, and modern condo conversions. The historic district is defined by NE 15th to the West, NE 28th to the East, NE Broadway to the North, and I-84 to the South, which runs through what is the “gulch.” Its centralized location provides convenient commuting throughout Portland and other neighborhoods via walking, riding, or public transportation. Sullivan’s Gulch is known for its vibrant commercial spaces, established restaurants, and pubs that create a lively atmosphere. The surrounding submarket will benefit from the 29.3-acre Lloyd Redevelopment master plan for new jobs, office space, retail, restaurants, and entertainment to the community. The subject's current zoning supports Portland’s new housing initiative—providing affordable housing through a Cottage Cluster development while expediting the building land-use review.
