Builder puts lien on Waterfront Pearl developer  Oregonian Aug 5, 2008


Hoffman Construction has slapped developers of the Waterfront Pearl condominium project with a $15.8 million construction lien.


Bart Eberwein, Hoffman vice president, said Monday that the Portland construction company filed the lien in late July because it has not been paid in more than two months.


The developer of the two buildings on the west bank of the Willamette River near the Broadway Bridge said that the project is on track and that the lien is a momentary glitch.
