As an indication of trends regarding where development intensification is occurring, this map shows where residential development has been taking place from 1999 through 2008.

The greatest concentration of housing development has been taking place in Central City neighborhoods such as Downtown, the Pearl District, and South Waterfront. Outside of the Central City, East Portland (mostly east of I-205) has become the location of the largest amount of smaller-scale infill development in established neighborhood areas. Multifamily housing and other higher-density housing types are now the majority of Portland’s new housing.
