By summer 2013, a new commercial office building could generate up to 100 jobs in Oregon, a real-estate developer told city officials.

The two-story building is proposed for an empty lot near the Oregon Clinic at 3851 Navarre Ave.

Oregon City Council is considering the developer's request to change the property's zoning from residential to commercial.

Council is expected to hold a public hearing and vote on the issue at a March 26 meeting.

Construction could start as early as the summer, and the new tenant could be in place by spring of 2013. The business could create 80 to 100 jobs, said developer Bruce Kearns of JMS Real Estate.

He told the city planning commission that because of a confidentiality agreement, he did not want to disclose the building's tenant.

Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian speculated that the new building could be either a doctor's office or another business related to the medical field.
