On the city's website, they still have this rendering up for the village at oceangate. I cant believe some people thought 9 stories was too tall for the heart of the most urban area in the state. says a lot about our mentalilty here. there wasnt even much of an existing residential stock for there to be problems in a neighborhood about....just industrial space, mostly anyway. and the people that do live in that area strike me as temporary residents, in between places where they would rather live anyway.
maybe im wrong.
here si the very basic rendering they have for the longfellow:
the city even still has the westin's (old) rendering up:
There are currently millions of dollars in projects under review or construction on the City?s eastern waterfront. Ocean Gateway, which provided the initial incentive for much of the private development, is a 17,000 square foot passenger terminal that will welcome ferries and cruise ships from all over the world. Along with a transfer bridge to ferry vehicles from ship to shore and a refurbished 800-foot pier for ship docking, the project includes the extension of Commercial Street (the main thoroughfare adjacent to the wharves), and the construction of a new public street linking Fore Street to the new terminal. Ocean Gateway also incorporates open space and public access along the City?s waterfront. Construction is underway and completion is expected by the winter of 2008.
Phase two of Ocean Gateway will see the construction of a 1,000 foot long mega-ship birth, large enough to dock the Queen Mary II. The project design was led by Woodard & Curran of Portland, with architecture by the local firm of Winton Scott Architects along with BEA International, a nationally renowned design team. Reed and Reed of Woolwich, Maine is constructing the facility.
The Longfellow at Ocean Gateway is a $75 million development with 115 residential condominiums, 25,000 square feet of offices, close to 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail and a 750-car parking garage. The project has received its approvals and construction begins in the spring of 2007.
The Village at Ocean Gate is a proposed four building development that incorporates 176 residential condominiums above structured parking for 190 parking spaces as well as ground floor retail space for a 150-200 seat restaurant. The project, which fronts on Middle, Hancock and Newbury Streets, is going through the approval process. The architect is David White.
The Westin is a $100 million project that has been approved for a 250 room Westin Hotel, 750 seat conference facility, close to 100 residential condominiums, 370 parking spaces under the building, a restaurant and spa. The developer has placed the project up for sale.
