 Neighborhood landmark: The former convent building (known as "Villa St. Rose") has been an important landmark in the Piedmont Neighborhood of North Portland for nearly a century. In the 1990's when the property became vacant and a prime candidate for redevelopment, neighborhood residents were very concerned about what might replace it on this seven-acre site. |

The Rosemont Commons development team met several times with Piedmont neighborhood residents to discuss their concerns and visions for their community going into the twenty-first century. |
 New streets at Rosemont Commons were laid out and constructed to reconnect into the street pattern of the Piedmont neighborhood. |
 Single-family homes: the development team and neighborhood committee reached consensus that new single-family homes would be constructed on all street frontages facing the existing residential neighborhood. |
