The site plan docs for the medical offices (and retail/restaurant block that will go roughly where the stage is now) are on the Westbrook city website (PDF warning). These typically only last until the Planning Board meeting, in this case March 1.
Also, the last time I looked, Waterfront hadn't dismantled their stage yet (it's where the retail/restaurant building near the cancer center will go). I assume that's on them to take care of, anyway.
I'm wondering if it's to spread risk? Maybe something on the finance side? Taxes? There were two applicants for this subdivision application: Dirigo Center Developers, LLC and Waterstone Rock Row Medical Campus, LLC both are owned by Waterstone Properties Group. Anyone know why they might be doing this?Are they subdividing to sell off the parcels to other developers?
None of this includes the additional land they acquired on the other side of the highway right? Just holding the land for future?I'm wondering if it's to spread risk?

From the talk at the meeting it seems like the "seasonal event space" (I believe P2 L7) is tabled for the foreseeable future. They also said that the residential portion (I don't think they mentioned the medical) is about a year off from breaking ground.
Correct, that land was not a part of this discussion.None of this includes the additional land they acquired on the other side of the highway right? Just holding the land for future?
They're on the agenda for Tuesday's planning board meeting in Westbrook. I plan to watch and maybe attend:
I really wish Westbrook posted their planning board packets online like Portland, SoPo and Scarborough do.
You're right.I believe the stage is actually where these newer Phase 3 residential units will sit. That tree line between Phase 4 and Phase 3 is also a brook that runs behind the stage.
Also, they’ve been allowed to abandon the walkable “street” / north-south axis in the original “sales pitch” deck. Without that this is just another jumble of access arteries and sprawling parking lots with randomly placed big boxes scattered around. The City should be holding them to the approved plan. The site would have benefitted from a form-based code — then build whatever retail/residential/parking clients need but at least it would have resulted in a consistency with the “bill of sale.”Here's the image that's on their website. The residences have indeed moved onto the convention center spot; hopefully someone will ask the question tonight. CLT tower, all the cool stuff and (hopefully) the movie theater remain in the Phase 2 area (currently the parking lot).
