NEWBERG, Ore. — On Friday, May 15, Newberg’s newest housing development opened to the community with a grand opening party that featured vendors, home tours, and a ribbon cutting.
Collina, a north Newberg housing development by Pahlisch Homes, will feature more than 400 single-family homes and 68 detached quadplexes and duplexes, according to reporting in the Newberg Graphic, which would make it among the largest housing projects ever undertaken in Newberg.
Collina is among the first significant phases of residential development to emerge from the Springbrook Master Plan, a mixed-use vision for more than 450 acres in northeast Newberg first adopted by the City of Newberg in 2007.
