I agree Allagash, and I miss this building more than Union Station probably due to it's downtown location.
Here's a preliminary sketch for 62 India Street, which would replace Port City Glass and the surface parking lot next door. The application says it's 29 apartments and 3 new storefronts facing India Street, with a single-level parking garage taking up the rest of the ground level behind the retail space.
Can't forget this Gem that was torn down for a parking lot.
I do think the proposal for fixing up the Fore Street garage facade looks pretty good.
Max, that park is called Post Office Park with Tommy's Park across the street where Mark sells his hot dogs.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the old post office was damaged beyond repair by fire not torn down arbitrarily. There were also development proposals previously for Tommy's park nearby but they were ugly...
Thank you for the update Corey. It seems like they are wasting no time putting these buildings (especially 667 Congress) up in this white hot market. I also found another proposed development when I was checking out the Portland Planning board site - a 7 story building near Marginal Way. Let the good times roll!
Ask and ye shall receive:
Public hearing on the 22nd, second topic. 169 Newbury Street.
