And if it's the same contractor as The Cambria Hotel/Covetrus buildings, then no earlier than summer of 2024.

Heck, I'm not even sure the Covetrus building will be done by summer of 2024.

I think they have to move out of their current digs relatively soon because the University of Maine Graduate & Professional Center is starting up its classes in January.

Yup, done by the fall (not summer). And if it's the same contractor as The Cambria Hotel/Covetrus buildings, then no earlier than summer of 2024.

I went by this place yesterday....not much to see.

Drove by this morning and there is some vertical steel.

Progress, but does not give summer 2023 vibes.

A little more progress a month after the update from Matt

Very not summer (or fall) 2023

This place definitely won't fall down. That's some beefy steel for four floors. Anyone know the purpose of the perforated beams?

 

[TC_zoid]

Excellent! (Now speed up that construction schedule.)

If they are pouring a slab I wonder if they plan on some tendons

 

[PWMFlyer]

I drove by yesterday, they are using pre fab concrete to go into the holes in the I Beams. Just like a parking garage. This should speed up the process...

Bangor Daily News article: Portland Hotel among most anticipated 2023 openings according to Vogue.
A new hotel set to open in Portland's West End this Summer was named in Vogue Magazines list of "The 26 most-anticipated New Hotels of 2023."
Uncommon Hospitality said the Longfellow Hotel will be the first independent, full-service hotel to open in the city in two decades. The five-story, 48-room hotel will be located at 754 Congress Street.
There will also be a wellness spa, which Uncommon Hospitality said is inspired by Nordic spa traditions and focuses on body and mind wellness.

Impressive, though hope the guests don't walk the mere one block down to the 711 where Portland's finest loiter and bum scratchers and cigs.

You can find far worse just as close to some of the finest hotels in Boston and NYC.

Hopefully something happens with the old 7-11 site soon.
