Have they started site work? I believe they're fully approved for this project.

Catherine have you considered putting together a basic informational website for the project? Something you can point people to that maybe has a few renderings and a FAQ. We live in a world now where a certain amount of misinformation is inevitable, but creating your own reference site could...

Catherine: it looks like progress is being made on the pocket park. Any estimate of a finish date? What's the plan for the water feature? I'm assuming it will only run in the warmer months? Will it be on a schedule? Turned off overnight, etc.?

Last I read the city said construction will restart next year, but my confidence is low. The current condition of Congress Square is the most puzzling and sad affair in the city's entire built environment, IMO. As mentioned above, there was a lengthy and broad public input process that...

I would guess that construction costs have become prohibitive, for starters. Their latest proposal would probably cost half a billion dollars to fully build out, maybe more. This site is also surrounded by wealthy property owners who will be happy to litigate any proposals that might affect...

Maine Public's CEO was on Maine Calling this morning to discuss their purchase of the former Public Market building and their intention to move their Portland facilities into that building by the end of 2025. I think he said that the buildout of the new studios has already begun. Slab will...

I don't think the addition affects its eligibility for tax credits, though the plans call for re-cladding those upper two floors so they more closely match the rest of the exterior. It sounds like much of the challenge, and expense, is coming in the attempt to retrofit the complex from...

I tried to watch/listen to last night's HPB meeting on this latest proposal. The audio is poor, but even if it was good the developers did not inspire a lot of confidence that they can get this done. They were asked about a timeline for moving forward and they said they'd have to do it in...

Huh, never seen that one before. It looks like it's circa 2000 based on the artist signature (C. Michael Lewis?) in the median. Kind of a suburban monstrosity, but I do like Marginal Way with a green median!

Catherine- just curious about the status of the pocket park build out. Can't wait to see it come to fruition. Also, any updates on the retail space?

Anyone seen any activity or heard anything about this project? I think they just passed the 1-year approval mark so unless they've filed for an extension it may be expired. I hope it's not been abandoned, they went through many iterations before the Planning and HPB boards for the approvals.

Catherine, any updates on the design of the pocket park? My recollection was that the design would need to be approved prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and since people have moved in I'm guess it's been finalized. Anything you can share?

Is this the new Redfern project, or different developer?

I'm assuming you mean February 20th. Any chance you might still be able to offer us a tour sometime in Feb/March? Would love to get a peak at the completed project if you can find time in your schedule.

Looks good. Is another tour still on the table for sometime in January for those of us who couldn't make the last one? Also- any updates on the pocket park design?

JAX is an interesting destination. I flew into it about 10 years ago for a conference "downtown," and the cab ride took nearly an hour as I recall. The downtown was not very dense, a few tall buildings but very little street level activity. There was a waterfront entertainment venue that was...

These prices are truly stunning. I'm interested to see their leasing success rate. A quick glance at their website seems to show a lot of availability (understanding it may not be up to date). That aside, the building looks immaculate. The actual footprint of the pool is much smaller than...

Making very slow progress on this one. Looks like they've pushed reservations back to March 1, 2024.

Looks like a new application has been submitted for a proposal to rehab this building. Not much info here, but now it looks like Fathom Companies is involved and the proposal is for residential as well as hotel. Look forward to learning more about this...
