I love it when common sense rules and NIMBY's get a good b@%#! slappin'. From what I've read the cold storage facility will be a good economic punch for the area.

The last two renderings above ^ are from a previous proposed 13 floor version of this building.

^Damn, that did turn out good! Thanks for the updates guys.

Re: Ames Street Residence | 88 Ames Str. - Kendall Sq. | Cambridge Isn't zoning for this location 300' for residential buildings? If so, that would have allowed for another 4 floors based off the current floor-to-ceiling height for residential levels in this building.

What a great idea ^. Hopefully government/people of Portland will benefit from this (The garage is city owned - right?).

Has anyone seen this ^ in the planning or historical board process yet? I'll upload 170 Fore to Emporis tonight for approval. Good find

Thanks for the pics Beeline! Knowing you take a lot of pics around Beantown and Cambridge, what do you think about all of the activity going on up here in P-town?

Found this while researching 58 Boyd Street for Emporis - http://www.porthouse.org/DocumentCenter/Home/View/386 Main page: http://www.porthouse.org/221/Projects-Planned

Good find Cosakita18. Hopefully we will be seeing more detailed plans for this on the city's planning board page.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll update Emporis once they get going. I will also upload Cumberland Manor later on this evening for submission also. https://www.emporis.com/city/101732/portland-me-usa

After looking at some plans I downloaded, the Luminato from my estimation is just under 100 tall (and looks like it in those photos). Thanks for the update Corey!

Am I surprised? No.

Yeah, good find. We may want to dig deeper on this one because of its "height" (NIMBYISM) in relation to the surrounding area. Something like this would definitely bring up some type of opposition. Edit: 58 Boyd is listed on CWS Architects website too. No pictures. Info and pics here...

I agree that the elevator / stair portion of this building should be moved to the back and that the facade should continue to the edge of 62 India Street. On another note, this proposal should appear on Emporis's Portland page by the end of the week...

After click on the link above, I also read the article on how to counter "NIMBYism" with "YIMBYism". I thought it was a good read. http://www.pressherald.com/2017/05/30/maine-developers-seek-ways-to-calm-the-neighbors-about-new-projects/

Re: Parcel JK | NorthPoint | Cambridge Listed on Emporis also

Has there been any talk about the former State Street Saloon site (burned down April 10th)? Are they going to keep or tear down the 4 story brick building next door? http://www.wmtw.com/article/building-collapses-in-overnight-fire-in-portsmouth-nh/9253899

On the 5:30 report tonight WCSH did a report on how South Portland planning department is considering a change in the city's zoning to allow for buildings up to 14 floors.

Chances for Burlington to go vertical are better than anytime before. Check out this sites: https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/CEDO/BTV-Mall-Redevelopment-Process Plans: https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/sites/default/files/Agendas/SupportingDocuments/BTC%202017_02_16%20ALL%20Drawings%2030x42.pdf

It looks like a nice addition to the neighborhood. Has ground been broken?
