Block 67

Approvals and construction are moving forward on the Block 67 development in Downtown Hillsboro.

On June 17, 2025, Hillsboro City Council approved the transfer of ownership, of Block 67, to Koz Development.

The project team is currently pursuing necessary permits to start construction this winter.

Koz on Baseline will be a full block redevelopment, consisting of two mixed-use buildings delivering needed housing, a space for a grocer/food cooperative, and other commercial spaces to contribute to the community's vibrancy.

Overview

Making Downtown Hillsboro a more vibrant, livable place continues to be a top community priority. The redevelopment of Block 67 will help further meet the community’s goals for Downtown Hillsboro as well as enhance the connection between Hillsboro’s Health and Education District and the historic Downtown.

The City does not intend to retain ownership of the block in the long-term. Rather, it intends to divide it and work with developers to deliver projects in support of the City’s goals for Downtown.
