    Rock Row (née The Ridge, née Dirigo Plaza) | Westbrook, ME

    The only way that more office space gets built here is with a giant healthcare related anchor tenant. I can see the residential buildings, yes. The reason why healthcare works is because of the constant visitations by the public, of whom are covered for their outpatient treatments. So, if you...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    A better solution is to think long term because the Jetport is going to continue to grow as more and more new residents, businesses (and one day 8,000 students with faculty at Roux of whom most or many will use the Jetport), and tourists will be arriving to Southern Maine. Why not figure out a...

    165 Washington Ave | Northern Burner Supply Redevelopment | Portland

    Hey, so heard some rumors. Roux needs a hotel near its de facto short-term housing (or is it really short term?) for visiting short term students and faculty for the Washington Ave burner development that Redfern is developing into 300 plus studios and apartments (a de facto dorm). Across the...

    Some of the video was shot in Cape Elizabeth and at the time she was dating a guy/boy who grew up there. But she is impulsive, doing what she wants. Some big acts will play small places (bars) unannounced (Springsteen and Gaga do or have). Southern and mid-coastal Maine for half the year now is...

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    Exactly. They are coming. They and their money and they want a new house, or not the typical crummy Maine housing stock. Kaplan Thompson is already all over this. 2-5 million to build per home. Check out their website.

    USM | Portland

    I would not expect older folks to understand my argument. The residual effect and capitalization from a new school like this is part of the new dynamic today. Those 99% of graduates are all dreaming of being the next Taylor Swift, and they are, or on their Instagram and TikTok pages (followers)...

    USM | Portland

    Well, I think I have to somewhat disagree with that. This new school will create additional interest in other university facets. Graduates of the Osher School of Music excel nationally and internationally. Our alumni hold music leadership positions throughout the country, serve as top-rated...

    USM | Portland

    The below linked article was written by one of the principals of Elkus Manfredi, one of the most prestigious arch firms in the world. Six inches of mud in the cafeteria? Talk about a low point. Excerpt: In late September 2019, 7,300 commuter students were settling into their routines at the...

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    And to speak about construction, it looks like this Moxy build is similar to the foundation scheme of the AC Marriott across from WEX. They didn't really dig down to place substantial footings, so I guess they are confident of the soil here. The best foundation porn I've ever seen is Hudson...

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    If you are in NYC stay at the Citizen M in the Bowery District. Wow! Less than $200 a night and the rooftop lounge and outdoor area is not crowded, and the views are some of the best in Manhattan for rooftops. It's a secret place I'm guessing. If tourists knew that bar/rest and view was like...

    This is great. The Moxy is a fun chain, a little like Aloft and Citizen M.

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    Yes, that stained and odor producing carpeting in the older part of the terminal is unacceptable and embarrassing. It reminds me of walking though the original parts of La Guardia with the 7-foot-high ceilings and condensation stains only inches above from the venting. What a first impression...

    Portland International Jetport | PWM

    RE enplanements... Boston has a ridiculous number of college students from around the country and world studying there. Also, many companies with an international presence. I think you will see greater numbers for PWM with Roux, UNE, and even USM enrolling more students from out of the state and...

    And a lawyer's dream. A lawsuit against a city with near endless cash (borrowing too).

    Roux Institute Campus Development | Portland

    Institutional creep. It will drive the neighbors insane. You have to wait for the Boomers to die off and those younger with open minds to give the verdict. Full bore ahead in 2035!

    Portland, ME - New Construction Continued

    Thanks for the great pics. But why do they have giant boulders surrounding the playground and granite on either sides of the slides? How stupid is that? Obviously a clueless landscape designer with no children did this. They need to fix it. It's always soft dirt or that rubber pebble compound to...

    Biddeford/Saco Developments

    Have they created that bridge to the train station yet? Seems dumb if not.
