A big parking garage is going up for the housing and other area needs.

I had some friends from CA visiting and so put them up at the Aloft here last September. This area is quite dynamic. The lawn on D (change that name please) across is an almost unbelievable and safe space to play, etc. when you have kids. It's also a short and fun walk from here into the Seaport...

For the 255 apartments... The developer... https://cathartes.com/ The arch firm... https://www.embarcdesign.com/project/thompsons-point Although I wouldn't call the views "breathtaking" at a tidal pool in between the Jetport and 295. The design, etc. looks a bit generic and perhaps a notch...

Great news! With this new hotel and the residential build, the area becomes an even greater magnet. It's why the train station should remain across the street. NNEPRA's argument that it adds "30 minutes" to the ride to Freeport and Brunswick is spurious. It adds 15 minutes, with a round trip...

I "toured" the bottle redemption center's land as a possible purchase back in I think, 2017. The structures are a teardown so there was no point in going inside. The land or ground next to it, I can't figure out a way to describe it. The only thing I can think of are the remnants of a haphazard...

Exactly. The Roux housing impact will be substantial going down Washington Ave. to where Redfern is going to build over 360 small apartments. They will more than likely start this summer or fall, hoping (and are applying pressure) for a city change with its inclusionary zoning penalty. There is...

That does look and feel nice, though the views will not be as good as the two new Portland rooftop bar/restaurants with the busy harbor and Casco Bay on one side, and the White Mountains on the other. I realize that this image was created with a telephoto lens, but still, those mountains are...

PPH has an article on it today too. Great job, Jetport. 3 mill for 2027?

When this building is done and ready for guests, it will be THE go-to night spot in the city. A bar at the top and a speakeasy in the bank vault in the basement? And if the Old Port Square hotel/condos/rooftop space is built, I'd say where else in New England other than Boston will you have...

I'd be surprised if this gets built, or like this. And affordable housing today on Munjoy Hill, at this personal income set? However, it would be nice to see this lot/etc. filled in with almost anything, really. And "developer" Daniel Black, not too impressive of a track record, or on LinkedIn...

I had a client not long ago in which I was able to fly private with him, etc., and it was with Delta Private Jets (Gulfstreams). I felt safe with them, but with other private jet carriers not so much. One time, coming into Des Moines airport (the key FBO is at the commercial airport) with...

Thanks for pointing that out. "Facts" are all over the place online, even Wikipedia sometimes.

1924 had some serious vertical going on. I had not realized that the Fidelity Trust building had been the tallest building in New England when it was built in 1910, and so for 5 more years it was. It's time for Portland to get taller (again).

It's not too bad now, the final walking leg into baggage. They stuck all the taxidermy into a corner. I'd still like to see that big epic skyline/White Mountains BG mural up there, though an ad for Kaplan Thompson is okay. But please, please no Cross Insurance ads. The vending machines are...

Yes, and I remember taking a few SW flights into and out of Manchester back then and it was not easy because who wants to take you there or pick you up? And bus service then was non-existent. The Portland-Boston spine works well with Concord Coach or the train. And then it's only a 5-minute Uber...

La Guardia in NY... It's only two runways and each are 7002 feet in length. I'd assume that they are using this configuration model of the 737 for dozens of flights each day to the west coast.

What's next? London and Paris? Maybe with Roux on the horizon there are some plans that we don't know about (for the San Fran / Silicon Valley connects). Is Meta planning a building next to or not far from Roux? Zuck does like his hydrofoil surfboard, and the Maine coast does present some fun...

Notably, Redfern. I'm assuming that they really, really, want to start on the 360 units build on Wash. Ave for Roux housing. In January of 2028, where will 2,000 students live? And faculty and admin and other staff will add 300 plus. The current location on the waterfront has many remote...
