University of Portland – Campus Expansion
Dina represented the University of Portland in its Willamette River Campus expansion and development project. She assisted the University with the acquisition of the 35-acre parcel of industrial land which lies 135 feet beneath the University’s main campus and contains more than 2000 feet of Willamette River frontage. An orphaned brownfield, the property was the former site of a lumber mill, concrete packing plant, ship building facility, and power plant. Dina negotiated a complex purchase agreement and assisted the University with a lengthy closing process. The property provided the University with a host of opportunities, including a new greenway and trail, the increased public use and stewardship of natural resources by the University’s environmental sciences program, and a general expansion of University facilities.
