Arch Cape, Oregon.

Arch Cape sits south of Cannon Beach along one of the most dramatic stretches of the Oregon Coast — a narrow coastal community wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the steep slopes of the Coast Range. The terrain here is unforgiving: oceanfront lots with sandy, low-bearing soils, hillside parcels requiring serious slope work, and the logistical challenge of working at the end of a long, narrow coastal highway corridor with limited equipment staging options. This is not work for contractors who aren’t deeply familiar with the specific conditions of the southern Clatsop County coast.

Osburn Olson has worked Arch Cape residential projects as part of our broader south Clatsop County service area for decades. The combination of high-value properties, environmentally sensitive coastal terrain, and the technical demands of working in a location with limited access requires exactly the kind of experience and precision we bring. We know what the soils look like in this stretch of coastline, we understand the applicable coastal zone regulations, and we have the equipment scaled appropriately for sites where large machinery simply can’t operate effectively.
