The Boring Company would be a good fit for Portland, I think. It's less expensive than a normal tunnel project because the tunnels are smaller and designed for autonomous EVs to take you directly to your desired station as opposed to handling regular traffic. Would be great for linking up the...

Have the Boring Company dig that downtown route with all those stops and connect the airport as well

Former St.Joesph's site in North Deering is now owned by something called "ST J Housing LLC" There has been some kind of survey team in the area as well.

The old St.Joesphs property off Washington Ave has been sold: https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/me/portland/1133-washington-ave/pid_65892701/ Very curious what the plan for this site could be.

That's good. They hit a snag with the foundation I believe and needed to do some repairs which slowed everything down.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I don't mind the design. It's not my favorite but I'm not upset about it. Also, they said they took inspiration from lighthouses... That doesn't mean the building is actually supposed to look like a lighthouse, which is good, because that would be pretty corny.

Went by today, seemed like they might be doing some work on the base of the new pier.

Good gravy :rolleyes:

Took this yesterday by Monte's out on Washington.

I wouldn't put too much stock into reactions on social media, PPH comments, or the Portland subreddit. I don't think I've ever seen a positive reaction to any proposal in those places. That said, I quite like the design and I hope they are able to get it built.

4 acres, very interesting! 👀

It's two different buildings, 89 Elm isn't next to the garage, but the other building is. (60 Elm?)

This lot was recently rezoned to TOD-1, not sure what the height limits would be.

I think so. I'm not sure what they do on Washington Ave but I think they want to consolidate all the administrative stuff to the main site on Veranda.\ In other news, I noticed the recently closed Dunkin Donuts lot at Woodfords corner is for sale...

Martin's Point is starting construction on their addition tomorrow: https://martinspoint.org/Meet-Martins-Point/Featured-and-Recent-News/All-News-Updates/2025-Martins-Point-Campus-Enhancements

Drove past yesterday morning, the pier building was about half demolished.

Oof... those are quite hideous.

Yeah that has to be an old estimate from like 20 years ago, I have to imagine it would be much more than that now.

I like it as well. The first tall building in an area will always stick out a bit, at first. We'll just have to add in some more so it doesn't stick out so much ;) After all, these downtown parcels were re-zoned with increased height limits for a reason!
