A pipe dream! It makes no sense. Why do we need another mega cinema and another indoor sports facility? Indoor Sports facilities and indoor ice rinks are not big money makers.
Like most large projects in the greater Portland area, it will likely never happen.
How about a new 9,000 seat arena...

To bad Portland couldn't do the same instead of wasting the time and money for a remodeled Civic Center that in 15 to 20 years will need to be replaced w/ a new one anyways.

Attended the meeting and this is how I saw it;
1. Architect Janet Marie Smith will do a fabulous job w/ her proposal to make the best of the old relic the CCCC.
2. Portland City Councilors K. Donoghue & D. Marshall who were in attendance were not impressive at all. Especially Marshall who...

Sheraton Hotels @ Maine Mall, So. Portland
I was told yesterday that the two circular Sheraton Hotel (mini) towers (Maine Mall area) will be torn down within the next year +. The property was purchased and along w/ the property where the Maine Mall Cinema used to sit will be a new "Best Buy"...
6 stories high, large U - shaped building w/ an approx. 35' x 100' 6 story section coming off of the midpoint of one of the legs of the U-shape. Also, the 3 story existing "Grand Trunk" building connects to the Watermark w/ a small skywalk.
With this development, the Starwood Element...
Actually, yesterday we received a full set of architectural drawings for Watermark. It has changed from the renderings shown on Architectural Team's website. It's still a fairly substantial and aesthetically pleasing project.
I suspect he (JC) will sell the property. He's just biding his time. My guess is that Waterview will never happen, at least not by JC.
Those renderings look pretty much the same as what I saw on Channel 8 News last week. I assumed they were the up to date drawings.
You can view some nice drawings/renderings of Watermark at www.architecturalteam.com , WHAT'S NEW , Residential. Nice looking development.
Also, I talked to an individual last evening in the Portland commercial property development business and he scoffed at the idea that Waterview (Jeff...
Waterview
I have been told that Cohen has put the parking garage (that he purchased for parking for Waterview) across the street from where Waterview would be built on the market - for sale. Does this mean that Waterview is unlikely to be built?
Penn National threatens to halt slots construction. The State going back on it's word wants to increase the amount of tax they had agreed upon so that they can help balance the state budget. IDIOTS!
Penn National is not going to assign the construction contract to Cianbro until this is...
The school has to be approved by the voters which is very doubtful. I think the price tag was around $30 million wasn't it?
Question about Whole Foods (Great Grocery Store). Why do they put up this nice looking building and the when you drive up Franklin Street all you see in the tall windows...

WHY is the Waterview sign still up? Does anyone, including Allied/Cook Const. & CWS Architects (whose names are on the sign) think this project will ever happen?
He's a Scarborough developer. Builds these 1 story office space buildings in business parks and also residential stuff. I don't have a clue why he is trying to do a development intown Portland. I know of a couple of people that have had less than pleasurable experiences with the man as a...
