Completed in 2016, Oxbow 49 is LEED Silver certified and comprises studio, one- and two-bedroom units averaging 790 square feet. Units feature modern finishes such as quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and faux wood flooring as well as in-unit washers and dryers and nine-foot ceilings. Community amenities include a third-floor terrace, rooftop lounge and generously sized private balconies offering panoramic views of the river and Portland’s West Hills.
