Readers have been asking for an update on the proposed redevelopment of the former Cedar Hills shopping mall at the intersection of Highways 217 and 26. The developer got a two-year extension on Beaverton’s approval last summer. We reached out to them and learned that there was no update to share at this time. Damin Tarlow of High Street Residential suggested we check back around August. The east side of the mall will be demolished and replaced with mixed use residential and commercial while Harbor Freight and the DMV will remain.

Some readers wondered if there was progress in the redevelopment of the center at the southeast corner of Cedar Hills and Barnes but all that is happening is repainting of the facades of the existing buildings. 

The 17-lot Middle Housing development proposed for property on McDaniel near Bonny Slope Elementary is currently on hold with Washington County, likely awaiting response to issues brought up by county planners.

The Macy’s store in the Streets of Tanasbourne is closing soon, although we don’t have a date. Owners of the property are asking Hillsboro planners to approve a zone change to allow mixed use of three lots (17.6 acres) to allow a combination of housing and retail. This includes the Macy’s building along with several other retail buildings and associated parking. It’s still unclear if any of the buildings will remain and be repurposed or if it will all be rebuilt. The Hillsboro Planning Board meeting is scheduled for February 5.
