Thanks for the pictures corey, as always. Be sure to show up on Tuesday night as the Portland Planning Commission will be hearing arguments for why the building height limits should be lowered along India Street. If you disagree or agree it is important to let the Commission know as they...

Haven't seen that. Thanks. The entrance needs to be moved from side to front on Stevens. No reason this can't be done.

Great Project

Wasn't there a market basket proposed for downtown a while back -- I wonder why it couldn't look like this:

Just applied to be the economic development director in Somersworth -- anyone have any insight about the town?

The one exception in my mind to the point I made above is on-street parking, where the ability to park a car in VIP spaces is incidental to the true benefit -- slowing traffic and creating a pedestrian buffer. On-street parking aint bad.

I see no reason why this might not go forward. It is, in my opinion, a mediocre project, off the beaten path, which won't add substantially to the feeling of Portland as a city. It'll just bring in some new activity to an already busy area (and not an enjoyable area). Its location has been...

Tonight’s planning board meeting will feature a number of projects, including: The Bay House: a major mixed use project in Portland’s India Street neighborhood, which is seeking to amend its site plan and contract zone agreement, with slight exterior changes and a request to place utilities...

Thanks for the link. How's the Hamilton Canal District shaping up these days? If you are into sketchup you'll really enjoy ESRI's City Engine, which is, to say the least, amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFRqSJFp-I0

A pretty neat way to see what one person has done with re-using old buildings along Congress Street. There is a narrow elevator that is used to access this space (it looks like a tube). It's located in the heart of the City, above the Portland Public Market House, next to the Public Library...

some colleges combine the two concepts, allowing private developers to rent on-campus housing to students exclusively, built on land leased from the college.
