Federated Companies was awarded the contract to buy the much publicized central Bayside land along Somerset Street, and has a limited time in which to commence construction or else the contract lapses. On their website's portfolio section is listed this project "Maritime Landing" in Portland, Maine, along with the following rendering:
Note, this is NOT the same rendering that was featured in the news article from 2007 "An Urban Vision Rises in Bayside" but is in fact much more aggressive from an urbanity standpoint in terms of height and lack of parking garage (at least an obvious parking garage is lacking in this rendering, but perhaps one is in the interior of the structures). All of these buildings are currently permissible under applicable height and bulk regulations, and I am pleased to see the company posting the artist's aggressive "potential" sketch as an indication of their plans. I think this looks like a C. Michael Lewis rendering, but I don't know. At any rate, its a good plan, and it would do wonders for extending downtown.
