Simple 15 minutes of creativity with google earth and AI helped generate this much greater use of land than what the hotel developer proposed for the Dicks/Friendly's/bank parking lot. If they are going through all the effort to tear buildings down left and right, why not make a sustainable and...

Beat me to this comment. Right next to that rail corridor that runs through Rock Row and into Portland. Also runs the other way through Westbrook and would only need a mile or so of new track to connect downtown Gorham to alleviate some of that traffic.

Not sure if this is old news or not but I noticed Breeze added FLL Breeze Thru service from PWM!

Another condo building going up at Stevens Square. Impressive seeing Developers Collaborative keep building here and downtown (Casco St) despite most others in a stalemate with the city or financial struggles.

The Jetport got their funding approved for the apron expansion/additional aircraft holding position what, 2 weeks ago? Already well underway! Love to see it

I just wish they would load up along the rail corridor and run a light rail/tram line into Portland and into downtown Westbrook/Gorham. I know it’s a long shot but there are so many opportunities for this land. Single use commercial with surface parking isn’t ideal.

This project went from color, character, and originality… to promoting… this? Cmon now😂 these people should be taken to court for false advertising.

Agreed Portlander. When this was originally proposed 10 or so years ago there was so much excitement around the area. Since then? A couple strip plazas, surface parking, and no access to the quarry in any way, along with hundreds of other undelivered ideas/promises. It’s the one development I am...

I’d be a billionaire if I could bet on the over on all of these completion dates they put out year after year😂

Final snippet, some Jetport recognition- deservedly so. Now it’s time for the Jetport to be recognized by our state officials and federal programs due to all of their recent successes. Get the finding recognition they have earned.

Sounds like the admin office project is getting underway- bidding in the construction of the project was competitive which is great. Updated visuals here of that shift of admin offices which will also shift the TSA offices to the old admin space, opening up a lot of room for new passenger...

More record capacity incoming for the peak summer months. Snipped this from Paul Bradbury’s presentation the other week with the sustainability/transportation committee.

Any movement here since this is on the same block/same development team as the live nation venue which seems to be gaining some momentum? I remember they adjusted to the rezoned blocks with 20+ story hotel/condo buildings instead of the original 10-15 story ones. Hoping these get moving at the...

Progress being made on the hotel as the cranes rise in the background - site work on the residential buildings is in the works. Do the renderings/plans show the residential units wrapping around the connected garage? Huge fan of those designs.

It was approved by the committee and is on its way back to the City Council despite 3 public comments against the expansion. The points against consisted of “expand metro” “expand bike-ability” “increase the price to park to disincentivize people to drive” and “the expansion is too close to a...

Interesting! Hate to be that guy, but I think a lot more could be done than a couple hotels surrounded by asphalt but it’s all good. Brutally basic/dull design seen from most suburban hotels these days. Great parcel! Hope it gets better

I created my first account on instagram called “the207update” bringing light to good, bad, and interesting updates around our state in terms of real estate development/preservation. The account blew up with support the last few weeks which has been cool. That being said, I just posted an...
