    Portland, ME - New Construction Continued

    From looking into it more. I read that the building was actually meant to be built in the south and designed as such. The structure was made out of Marble which is not conducive to our salt climate and the exterior was deteriorating pretty bad. The government to help portland after the great...

    Hey corey do you know what they are building at the end of the maine wharf pier? looks like someones sweet bachelor pad type deal. The Midtown project has been delayed again. Seems like noyes storage does have some legitimate concerns about flooding when the street is raised. They do not...

    Portland Bayside

    On one hand portland needs a lot more housing and affordable housing at that. Their is avesta housing but avesta excludes a lot of people from being able to live in those units due to their requirements and demand. Also most of all the new building's being built in portland are condos and...

    I would be very curious if anyone knows what the deal is with the vacant store front space in the maine med garage on congress st? it still has a dirt floor and there hasn't been zero progress in there since the garage opened quite awhile back now, seems the rent is a bit high for the area...
