I say we reconsider this proposal:

An update to 55 North Main, 9/6/23: From Union Street: From the rear/Barker Ct.

Researching building data is a hobby of mine. Most of the height data in this region are from my contributions to Emporis. If you're interested in some of the raw data, let me know.

Thanks for the updates Cojapo! I've been working on uploading these new projects into Emporis. This is the page as of 9-7-22 with some of my updates pending (Rivers Mark, not Edge as listed, is 65' tall): https://www.emporis.com/city/109515/dover-nh-usa

On my way back from Manchester, I'd figured I'd stop by to see the new development going on in downtown and make an update here (8/24/22). From the rear: Front: Looking South from the site: The recently renovated Scenic Theater and Salinger block by Chinberg Properties:

Besides Google photos, this site and Emporis, I'm not a big fan of sharing my photos on image hosting sites. I'm looking for recommendations for photo editing apps / software that you guys use to crop and resize photos for uploading onto this site. I'm willing to spend some change for a decent...

As a retired U.S. Army combat veteran, I totally agree with you guys here. It's just too far fetched of an idea! I too think that housing the homeless/low income veterans as part of a much bigger housing development is a much better use of their money. I just don't see how the boondocks out...

Oh they are there ;)(y) on page 4, but sadly their heights have not been verified yet. On pages 1-4 the heights have been verified and after that all of the heights are estimated. After a long hiatus, I'm back to uploading verifiable data to help fix this. I think with the help of a few other...

Just finished uploading both the Portland Commons Residence Hall and Career and Student Success Center to Emporis.com. After going over the elevations for Portland Commons, I determined a height of 96' 2"- 4" (it varies as to which parapet diagram you are looking at). As for the Student Center...

I was looking at the latest approved plans for this building on the Portland CSS site, and it appeared to me that this is only 4 floors now. The elevations from May 27, 2020 show 5 floors, where as the ones from September 23, 2021 show 4. If this is the case, we're looking at a 2 floor reduction...

I think this project will look great from Rt. 111 as you drive by and as you enter the retail area up the hill coming from the direction of Sanford. Looks good. I hope it gets approved instead of dying on the drawing board like a lot of projects do in this area.

Uploaded to Emporis for approval. Should be a couple of days. Working on the submission to CTBUH.

As most of you know I contribute building information (mainly height) to Emporis.com, CTBUH and Wikipedia. We all know those lists are seriously lacking in data. However, because of my input as well as that of others, it's A LOT better that what it used to be - which was almost nonexistent or...

Good catch Portlander! However, check out the scale on pages 11-15 and measure above 258'8" (158'8" actual). It's close to 30+ feet for the sign and it's supporting structure. As for Franklin Towers, I'm right with you, the mechanicals need to be taken into consideration. More research is...

With the signature "Time and Temperature" sign on top, this building could be the tallest building in Maine! As I was looking at the submitted plans from above, I used the scale from pages 11-15 to figure out the height of this building. Measuring from the roof (258'8") to the top of the sign I...
