Dave Dahl Buys a Killer Condo in Downtown Portland

It cost a lot of bread—but not the highest price paid for a condo in 2017’s booming market.

Dave Dahl (Dave's Killer Bread)

Dave's Killer Bread founder Dave Dahl rang in the new year with a new pad that's got a bird's eye view of downtown and the Cascade Range.

Multnomah County property records show Dahl closed on the new 2,920-square-foot condo in December, buying the downtown penthouse for $3.065 million.

That's a lot of bread—but not the highest price paid for a condo in 2017's booming market.

That honor appears to go to investor Jay Regan, whose company JCP Investments LLC bought a different penthouse in March for $4.5 million, records show. Each of the high-priced purchases came with a storage unit and three parking spaces.

The seller of the $4.5 million property may be familiar to eagle-eyed readers: He's Barnes C. Ellis, a onetime Oregonian reporter turned investment adviser.
