A Hub for Exploring Lincoln City
Lincoln City, OR: The D-River Welcome Center will transform one of Lincoln City’s most popular beach access points into a more accessible destination for residents and visitors. The project includes upgraded restrooms, a renovated parking lot, improved pedestrian routes, and an expanded plaza supporting community events such as Lincoln City’s twice-yearly kite festival.
“The Welcome Center brings much-needed upgrades to the beach restrooms and parking lot while creating a better plaza for community events,” said Jake Watkins, Bremik Project Manager.
The existing parking lot does not meet current accessibility standards for slopes and pedestrian access. Reconstructing the lot will provide safer routes between parking, visitor amenities, and the beach.
Inside the Welcome Center, interpretive signage will highlight the local biosphere and coastal ecology. An information desk, map tables, and visitor materials will also connect people with attractions throughout Lincoln City. The mass-timber building is designed to complement its coastal setting and will be solar-ready for future renewable-energy improvements. Once complete, the Welcome Center will provide an accessible starting point for experiencing Lincoln City’s beaches, community events, natural environment, and local attractions.
Carrying Tradition Forward, Building for the Future
Newport, OR: Lincoln County Commons will transform the former county fairgrounds into a year-round gathering place that brings people from across the county together. Guided by community input and the 2019 master planning process, Bremik is collaborating with Lincoln County and LRS Architects to bring the community’s vision to life.
“The vision is for Lincoln County Commons to become a destination for the entire county one that carries forward traditions of the past while creating new opportunities for youth and future generations,” said Casey Miller, Bremik Project Executive.
The Commons is planned to support fairs, 4-H activities, local music, cultural festivals, science education, and exhibits reflecting Lincoln County’s fishing, timber, agriculture, tourism, and coastal identity.
“The Commons should feel like it belongs to all of Lincoln County and reflects the communities, cultures, and industries that shape the region,” Miller said.
The rodeo will remain a valued community attraction and a major economic driver. Expanding the site’s year-round use will allow that legacy to continue while creating space for additional programs and events.
The County is currently evaluating three site-plan options, with final design and permitting to follow. Full construction mobilization is anticipated in early 2027.
Practical Modular Solution for Supportive Housing
Seaside, OR: Restoration House is adding a two-story modular building with ten affordable studio apartments for people living with behavioral health needs. Initially conceived as an addition to the existing Craftsman-style facility, the project shifted to a stand-alone building to reduce disruption to ongoing services and make efficient use of the limited site.
Supported by Oregon Health Authority grant funding, the project required a solution that addressed budget, schedule, and space constraints.
“Modular construction addressed several project needs at once,” said Watkins. “It reduced the overall construction schedule and cost while allowing the new building to remain separate from the existing facility.”
InteliFab will construct the wood-framed modules in Klamath Falls, completing the interior finishes, windows, doors, roofing, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems before transporting them to Seaside.
At the same time, Bremik will construct the retaining wall, prepare site utilities, and pour the foundation. Advancing fabrication and site preparation simultaneously will help shorten the overall schedule.
“The modules will be installed in a matter of days,” Watkins said. “Much of the interior work and MEP installation will already be complete, so the building will take shape very quickly once they arrive.”
After the modules are craned into place, Bremik will anchor them to the foundation, connect the utilities, install the exterior cladding, and complete the roof connections. Once complete, the studios will provide residents with private, stable places to live while keeping treatment and supportive services nearby.
