How original in it's design! (note sarcasm) MEH

Casco Tower. Though I think there is a better name out there still. Azimuth and Lorelei are too obscure and people will have no clue how these names would relate to the building (because they don't).

Your counter argument is ridiculous. Trying to market a building full of apartments under the John Ford name is asking for failure. Unless you are an old film buff you have no clue who he was. "Blyth and Burrows" and "Henry's" can be catchy names for an establishment without patrons knowing...

And the majority of younger folks would be asking who the hell John Ford is. Personally I was raised on John Ford films but I am also a boomer (barely ... lol). "The John Ford Building" would be DOA with the majority of folks to whom these apartments would be marketed.

Yes! And gray too! What a surprise .... oy vey.

If you have not yet taken the opportunity to explore The Downs in Scarborough I highly recommend doing so. I was in the area yesterday and was highly impressed with what they are creating. Aceto Landscape Architects have done a tremendous job of designing this mixed use development...

Which is why I make mention of that in my comment on the article ... they need to go away.

Stupid design choice. Can't imagine what they were thinking.

A few new pics from today. Exterior is very near completion.

You obviously haven't seen some of the McMansions built with new money. The nouveau riche definitely have a flair for the ostentatious! LOL

Last week I arrived into PWM on the 2:14 Delta flight from Minneapolis which is right in the midst of the afternoon rush. The terminal was absolutely packed with passengers waiting to depart on flights and all of the restaurants and shops were crowded with people. It had the feel of a much...

Please no. The Embraer 175 is a vastly more comfortable jet than CRJ's. And yes the newish AA service to Portland will be 175's. My partner is crew on those flights.

Good luck with this one. I worked in that building for years. The structure really is not set up for a hotel.

From the water, Aucocisco has definitely changed the Portland skyline.

I look forward to seeing how this is actually built out. As they say "the proof is in the pudding" and "put up or shut up"! LOL

Would not have been my first choice for an area that receives no natural light. It feels "military institutional".

As I have asserted before, just because it was designed by this firm does not make it great architecture. There really is nothing outstanding about the architecture of the museum but adding the "hole" to the right side of the facade actually creates more balance to the facade than currently...
