The Oregonian visited homes that were listed for sale by major infill developers. These photos show the homes they built and what they replaced.
The photos were collected in reporting a recent series of stories on home demolitions, renovations and infill construction of single-family houses:
» Shortage of lots in the suburbs drives builders to demolish and build in the city
» Homebuyers find competition from builders seeking land
» 10 years of Portland home demolitions in one GIF
