Sorry for lack of pictures, but steel is starting to finally go up for the Medical Offices. Small section of two floors so far. Better than nothing.

A new scrapbooking degree? lol

Is this a depiction of the proposed performance space, or is this from something else? If so, this is NOT big enough for the program.

Thinking of it this way: Corthell Hall: Not a huge venue. Lots of damp practice rooms in the basement. Other classrooms are either too cold or too hot depending on season, which isn't great for practicing instruments. It's a great venue for RECITAL space or smaller performances (like brass...

Is this the area in red depicted in the 10/30/21 post above? Does this include the entire building that divides the site in half? I'd be eager to hear if the triangular piece of land behind Sun Life will ever get developed too. What is the "Proposed Building" in orange on Thames Street next...

The irony is that the neighborhood would be fine with the church that existed there. Especially if it was a busy location for services and not a denomination where everyone in the East End would attend (and potentially walk) So in full operation, the church goers would have parked all over the...

I'd love it if they masked Franklin Tower in glass. It's just so hideous.

All of this architectural style won't age well. It's going to look like East Germany eventually.

Looks awesome. Wish they were taller. Would be cool if Midtown was also built with the original heights. I wonder/predict if the houses/apartments between Cedar Street and Wilmot/Pearl will be gone within the next 20 years? If Bayside is where things are going to be built, it makes sense to me...

The irony is that they were supposed to build a tunnel and never did.

I wholeheartedly agree. Redesigning Franklin into an Urban boulevard will reconnect the East End to the rest of downtown, remove the ugly scar left from misguided urban renewal, and free up land both sides for meaningful development. It doesn't have to be a tunnel of high-rises, but mixed...

So if they serviced other engine parts at this site, would it have been called something else? The Clutch? The Alternator? The Water Pump? The Manifold? The Grommet? The O-Ring?

I love this. I enjoyed reading the banter on the comments section of this article. A lot of people calling out the insanity too.

Will be an attractive addition to that area.

You can think the same Biddeford with all of the empty lots near the mills. They're starting to fill in. It's only a matter of time before Lewiston follows suit. Especially since people are being priced out of Portland.

New PPH Article Additional details on the Bayside Development

You basically have to talk the talk of the locals. Taller buildings = less sprawl, less destruction of habitats, cohesive spaces, affordability, better for the environment. It's about time we stood up to the misguided NIMBY's

There was talk once upon a time of developing creative artist/start up living space near Riverton if I'm not mistaken. I'm guessing that went the way of the dodo.

I very much agree. With the Hospital and Art Museum, we need interesting and attractive architecture to bring the city forward. People balked at the facade of the Hyatt on Fore Street, but I kind of like that it's different.

The castle top, for one. Haha
