From initial groundwork to a completed residential community, Tenino represents the full scope of the development and construction process.

This 14-unit cottage community in Southeast Portland came together through each stage of development, from the initial concrete pours and structural framing to roofing and the final finished residences.

We’re proud to share the progress behind Tenino and the work that went into bringing this residential community to life.

This 14 unit cottage community was designed with a focus on thoughtful architecture, functional living spaces, and a strong sense of connection between residents and their surroundings. 

From the individual homes to the shared outdoor space, the project reflects our approach to creating residential communities that are both well-designed and practical for everyday living.

We’re proud to see the vision for Tenino come together and look forward to continuing to bring thoughtfully considered housing to Portland.

A closer look at our 11-unit residential development on Killingsworth in Portland. 🏡

Designed with both functionality and everyday living in mind, these three-story homes feature thoughtfully planned layouts, modern finishes, and spacious primary suites with vaulted ceilings and walk-in closets.

From the full-height kitchen backsplashes to the attached garages included in 10 of the 11 units, every detail is intended to make the most of the available space while creating comfortable, practical homes.

Follow along for more project updates and a closer look at what we’re building throughout the Portland metro area.

Growth in development takes more than finding the right properties. It takes the right partners to keep projects moving.

At Aker Development, we currently have approximately 65 active projects and are on track to complete roughly 180 residential units in 2026. Much of that work centers on transforming overlooked infill properties throughout the Portland metro area into thoughtfully planned housing—creating new opportunities in established neighborhoods close to the schools, parks, transit, and amenities people already value.

Scaling a pipeline like this depends on strong alignment at every stage. Corent Capital helps identify opportunities and structure the capital, while our team at Aker manages design, permitting, construction, and ex*****on through completion. On the lending side, CoreVest Finance has been a valuable partner as we navigate the complexities of middle housing, multi-structure developments, phased sales, and projects that require a more flexible financing approach.

The best partnerships work both ways. We bring the ex*****on and development expertise our partners can count on, while they provide the capital and financing structures that allow us to keep projects moving forward.

180 units may be a number on paper, but on the ground, it represents 180 households with a place to call home in a neighborhood they want to be part of.

Quality control starts long before the final walkthrough.

At Aker Development, our project managers and superintendents stay closely involved throughout construction—regularly walking each site, monitoring work as it progresses, and communicating with our subcontractors along the way.

Catching the small details early helps prevent costly rework, keeps projects moving efficiently, and protects the quality of the finished home.

The finish line is in sight at our New York project in North Portland.

With six residential units nearing completion, our focus has shifted to coordinating the final trades, completing detailed walkthroughs, and making sure every element comes together in the right order.

These final stages involve plenty of moving pieces, but they’re also when the vision truly begins to feel complete. We’re excited to see this project take shape just minutes from the St. Johns Bridge.

In the heart of Multnomah Village, Capitol Highway brings together thoughtful design, efficient living, and one of Portland’s most walkable neighborhoods.

This seven-home development includes a triplex and fourplex, with each residence offering 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 950–1,000 square feet of intentionally designed space.

With designer-selected finishes throughout and coffee shops, restaurants, bars, markets, and neighborhood events just steps away, Capitol Highway was created to make the most of both the home and the location.

From plans to progress to a finished home on the Street of Dreams.

This video takes us back to the build phase of Oak Terrace, when the details were still coming together and the vision was taking shape. Since then, the home has been completed and is now part of this year’s Street of Dreams.

Welcome to Sunwood Court—Aker Development’s newest custom home in Lake Oswego.

This thoughtfully designed home features an open-concept living space, dedicated office, media room, private bathrooms for every bedroom, and a custom primary suite with a soaking tub, walk-in closet, and nearly seven-foot shower.

Stay tuned as this home comes to life.

Progress continues at this custom home as electrical rough-in gets underway.

At this stage, careful coordination between the electrical plans, framing, lighting locations, and future finishes helps ensure the home functions as thoughtfully as it was designed. With wiring and electrical boxes going in, the interior is one step closer to insulation and drywall.

Looking forward to sharing more as the project takes shape.
