What is a mixed-use, master-planned community?

Who is developing Reed’s Crossing?
Brookfield Properties is developing Reed's Crossing. We are one of the largest developers of mixed-use communities in the United States. With our partner, North America Sekisui House, LLC, we believe it is our responsibility to create enduring, healthier communities for people to live life in ways that matter most to them. From office to retail, logistics to multifamily, and hospitality to development, Brookfield works across sectors to bring high-quality, sustainable real estate to life around the globe every day.
Does Brookfield build the homes as well?
Brookfield develops the overall plan for the community, the infrastructure and the green spaces, then sells lots to builders who then own the lot until they build a home on it and sell it to a new resident. Brookfield also sets the design guidelines builders must follow regarding varied elevations, structural aesthetics, and colors to ensure that our community is as beautiful and diverse as the people and pets that call Reed’s Crossing “home”. In some communities, Brookfield Residential joins other selected builders to construct homes within the community. At Reed's Crossing, there are five independent builders chosen to build the homes within the community. See a current list of homebuilders here.

Why is the Community called Reed’s Crossing?
Simeon and Amanda Reed were early Oregon settlers. Simeon was heavily involved in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (later the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company).
In the 1860s, Simeon and Amanda settled 5,000 acres in an area called Reedville, which covered parts of what is now Aloha and Hillsboro. In later years, Simeon and Amanda operated a hobby farm, raising livestock and holding harness races.
The “Crossing” of the community’s name is a nod to Simeon’s railroad and shipping business interests, as well as the Portland & Western Railroad that runs along the northern edge of the community.
What is the difference between Hillsboro and South Hillsboro?
The City of Hillsboro annexed 1,400 acres of open spaces, farmland, and developed properties, and petitioned to have those acres brought into the Portland Metro Urban Growth Boundary. In order to create a distinct community within Hillsboro, the City decided to name the area “South Hillsboro.”
Why do the streets jump from 209th to 67th?
