Oh boy, I vote for a Palace Diner outpost.

let's go for nostalgia....
I miss the Victory Deli that was in monument sq. I miss the pastrami and rye. A good deli that offers real good had cut meats that are sliced on the spot . I vote for an outpost for HB Provisions in Kennebunkport !!!

Would love something with an "all day" vibe. I don't know if you've been to Smalls down by the CBB but they do a good job making it somewhere to hang out, have coffee, do a little laptop work, have breakfast or lunch, or have a cocktail in the evening.

Totally agree with you. I will check out Smalls! ~C

Another great example of this is a place called A Baked Joint in DC which is a bigger version of Smalls and does its own baking. Has the feel of a real community gathering place.

Or Wild Oats in Brunswick!

I second the "all day" vibe. Too many coffee shops close early and too many sandwich shops open only for lunch. I know workers are hard to come by but there are many afternoon/evening coffee drinkers out there. I think some coffee shops should actually open early and late...and close mid-day if they need to.....open 6am-11am, close 11am-3pm and open 3pm -8pm type schedule.

This really is going to be a lot of different unit floor plans

@Redfern what has become of the old chapel? Has that been divided up into a residential unit or is it going to be public space or ??

I was wondering this too. Community room?

I wanted it to be a community space or a speakeasy but it is being converted into apartments! ~ C

This is a new rendering to me - and very exciting generally and as a neighbor specifically.

Meeting with someone about the commercial space today! Zinc siding is going up too on that space around the windows. It’s so cool! ~C

Wow, excited to see how the pedestrian traffic influences this area of Portland. Looks like a fun neighborhood to call home with so many different places to explore within a short bike ride or walk. What type of companies/products might be going in the commercial spaces here? A coffee shop or cafe? Best of luck! You guys continue to get the job done when it comes to helping curb the housing crisis in southern Maine.

This is a great project and example of well designed in-fill needed in Portland.

Love these! Particularly a fan of the outside patio area at the retail.
