Orenco Agrees- Green Is Cool!

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Orenco Station Manor Suites is a big fan of, well, Earth! We feel that protecting our resources is of upmost importance and take every possible step we can to preserve our surroundings.

Some of the efforts we make to keep things green are, of course, recycing absolutely each and every possible thing we can! We also have implemented using low energy, high efficiency washers and dryers in all laundry facilities and use low-impact organic laundry detergents.

We look to our guests to help us conserve water by urging them to reuse towels as often as possible and are eager to hear any suggestions our past and future guests may have for our “Green Team”.

Orenco Station as a community was built on the premise of conservation. Read this article from the National Resources Defense Council to find out more: http://www.nrdc.org/cities/smartGrowth/solve/orenco.asp

Cheers!

Orenco Station Manor Suites Offers New Healthy Amenities!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

In an effort to cater to the growing number of business travelers and vacationers who take their health seriously, Orenco Station Manor Suites has added two new amenities: The Healthy Start Breakfast and day passes to LA Fitness, one of the area’s premier fitness clubs.

Starting at 6am each day, the coffee in each of the two business centers is fresh and ready to go. Guests can also grab a fresh piece of fruit, a selection of travel-friendly fruit cups, or a breakfast bar, all at no additional charge.

Three cheers for LA Fitness who has been most helpful in facilitating the new negotiated free daily passes for Orenco Manor travellers. Guests simply grab a form that can be found in the guest book in each suite, fill out the appropriate fields and take it with them to the gym. It’s really that easy.

Of course, the same No Smoking policy applies to all Orenco Manor’s suites.

Orenco Station Manor Suites takes your health as seriously as you do!

Orenco In the News: The Oregonian, 1998

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

 

Orenco Station Main Street

“Innovative development blends light rail access, small lots with ‘community heartbeat’”
The Oregonian, January 4, 1998

Automobiles are relegated to garages in back of the new homes at Orenco Station, and that’s more than just a design consideration. In this pedestrian-friendly community north of Hillsboro, cars are not essential for most residents. The new Orenco light rail station is just a couple of blocks away along tree-lined streets. Once the project is completed, most all of the amenities residents need will be within walking distance, including coffee shops, sidewalk cafes and a major grocery store….

The 190-acre project is just the sort of project Metro envisioned for land along the new Westside light rail line, said Mike Burton, Metro’s executive director. Despite high densities (about 18 units per acre), the homes are well-designed and offer a sense of privacy lacking in many homes on much larger lots, he said. The mix of apartments, townhomes and single-family homes, amenities such as parks and a swimming pool, the town center commercial area and an adjacent larger commercial development contribute to a sense of community, rather than being “just a bunch of houses,” said Burton.

“It’s a great project,” said Burton. “I think they’ve achieved a heck of a goal….”

A Word from Renaissance Wines… April 2008

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Once again, we present a word from our friends at Renaissance Wines, in the April exerpt from “Uncorked”…

“Last week when the weather warmed the air with spices for one glorious day, I decided to celebrate the elusive sun by treating myself to a bottle of Clos des Papes blanc and fresh grilled catfish. Yes, I know this was a bit of a splurge, but the rain had been wearing me down, and I needed a little pick me up.

There are rare moments in life where beauty unfolds itself in such a way that the clouds open up and the “Alajuela” chorus booms from above - this definitely was one of those moments. As the wine touched my palate, a teasingly soft, pear-like texture gently melted into my mouth, lingering on my senses. The wine was fleshy, ripe and alive. Medium bodied and luscious, this gem parades a line up of citrus summer fruits, infused with intoxicating honeysuckle and orange peel. I was in heaven.

Clos des Papes is arguably one of the most superb producers of Chateauneuf du Pape. This dazzling white is truly a work of art, composed by none other than the famed Paul Avril, who has been crafting wines from Clos des Papes for several decades. My palate was drenched in this sinfully delicious masterpiece for one glorious afternoon, as I explored her beauty, and feasted on the “richest of fairs”. It was everything I never knew, I always wanted.

Now that is what I call an afternoon in the sun. I highly recommend it.”
