Frequently Asked Questions:
Where is Springbrook located?
It’s on the northeast corner of Newberg, Oregon. It is about 20 miles from downtown Portland, about a 35-45 minute drive.
Can I reserve a residential lot?
Not yet, but you can submit your name and contact information.
What are the sizes of the lots that will be for sale?
Lot sizes will start at 5,500 sq ft, progress through 6,600 sq ft and 7,700 sq ft, and go to custom sizes as the terrain demands. A few of the custom lots will be about 1 acre.
What will be the sale price of the houses?
There will be a variety of home styles and sizes, and the prices will reflect that spectrum of choice.
When do you expect homesites will be ready to be purchased?
The first homesites are expected to be for sale by the Fall of 2010. However, the real estate development will be phased over the period of about a decade.
Are you going to have multi-family housing?
There will be some condominiums and townhouses. There will be no apartments.
Are you going to have an area for senior housing?
No areas are set aside specifically for “senior housing.” Builders may take into account changing age demographics with home designs that incorporate senior-friendly features like a master bedroom on the main level.
Are you going to have ADA (Americans with Disability Act) compliant houses?
While we have no plans to require a certain percentage of homes to be ADA-compliant, builders may include things like wider hallways and doorways, larger bathrooms, and single-level construction, and incorporate these features into some of the homes they build.
How big will the inn be?
The inn will have approximately 85 rooms and suites. It will also feature a spa, restaurant and conference center.
How much will a room at the inn cost?
Room rates have yet to be determined. Special rates will apply during certain times of the year.
How big will the restaurant be?
The restaurant will seat approximately 75 diners.
Will there be a golf course?
No, but Chehalem Glenn is within a 2-mile drive. According to Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine: “The first tee offers a panoramic view of the valley, and several of the par fours will test even the best golfers.”
Will there be any changes in the status of Benjamin Road due to this development?
Not at all. Benjamin Road will remain as it is today, a local road. But some improvements are on the way. One 350-foot stretch, from the Putnam Road intersection west to the railroad tracks, will receive new curbs, sidewalks and widening, plus road-bed upgrades to meet to city standards. These improvements are a result of the Springbrook Properties development. There's one additional change coming down the road: Sometime in the future, the start of the long-awaited bypass will cause the closure of the Benjamin Road/US Hwy 99 intersection by the Oregon Department of Transportation. For more information, please contact Springbrook Properties, 503-537-2000.
