Portland Square Redevelopment | Portland

This plan appears wise and realistic. The empty lot in Portland Square should have something at least 300 feet in height. Creating zones with varying heights ensures better or enhanced architectural results for a city. One that I can immediately think of is Boston's Seaport District. True, it has been limited in height because of the affected flight path to Logan, and so now it's a variety of 20ish story buildings of interesting forms and shapes. Try to go down this summer and walk around. It's a dynamic and unique feel because of the lower limited height, and yes, the many different design shapes competing for attention. While in the immediate area, it's easier to take the whole in when it's shorter. (The Burj Khalifa is more impressive from a distance.)

This build will be primarily lab space with an indoor running track on the top floor!
