City Selects Henry Point Development to Repurpose City Hall

After a competitive process, the City of Milwaukie has selected Henry Point Development to reimagine its historic city hall.  The building, located at 10722 SE Main St., is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and a focal point of Milwaukie’s downtown.

“We’re confident Henry Point’s proposal will help catalyze activity and support business in downtown Milwaukie,” said Joseph Briglio, community development director. “We’re looking forward to the opportunities this project will bring to the community.”

The selection committee was impressed with how Henry Point’s proposal focused on the project’s five adopted community goals, which included destination creation, historic preservation, use of minority/women business enterprise contracting, sustainable building practice and the preservation of open space.

The reuse of city hall will preserve the building’s iconic façade and the renovated interior will house a variety of tenants, becoming home to a brewery, restaurant and bakery, along with community art and office space.

“We’re honored to have the opportunity to work on such a beautiful building, and deliver a thoughtful and creative redevelopment plan,” said Travis Henry, president of Henry Point Development. “It will celebrate the building’s history and symbolic connection to the city, while energizing the location with exciting new uses, services and partnerships that will generate lasting community value long after the city vacates the property.”

Henry Point’s success with past projects, including the award-winning redevelopment of the historic Bank Building of Beaverton and home to the new Loyal Legion beer hall, provided city leaders with the confidence that the ultimate result will benefit the community.

The redevelopment project will begin in 2023 after the city relocates its services to 10501 SE Main St., the building that was formerly occupied by Advantis Credit Union.
