Japan-based Sanyo Homes is in talks to build trial houses of its eco-friendly houses and condominiums in Portland later this year.
Sanyo houses also employ the latest in earthquake-proof technology.
“Portland places emphasis on environment, sustainability and eco, which are the keywords in our business, too,” said Hideo Nakai, president of Sanyo Homes, in an email interview. “Also, one of our major shareholders, Sanyo Electric started manufacturing key components of solar power generation in Salem recently.
