Developer buys former Wilco property in Mount Angel

A Woodburn developer has purchased the site of the former Wilco headquarters in Mount Angel, while plans to develop the property remain in the early stages.

According to the Marion County Assessor’s Office, the 2-acre lot at 190 S Main St. was sold to Double I Construction, owned by Ivan Ivanov, for $465,000 on June 15.

Mount Angel Administrative Services Director Colby Kemp told Our Town no new applications to develop the lot have yet been received. Ivanov submitted a site plan in May that expired June 30 proposing a mixed-use facility with commercial space on the first floor and 28 apartments above.

A fire destroyed the previous buildings in 2021. The historic structure, iconic for its towering silo, dated to the early 1900s and was the headquarters of Wilco Farm Coop from 1967 to 2004.
