If it becomes Maine’s tallest building as expected, an 18-story apartment tower to be built in downtown Portland would claim a title that hasn’t changed hands in over half a century.
Or, depending on the measuring stick, the “tallest” distinction could remain with a structure in Lewiston that’s held it since 1890.
One thing is clear: Redfern Properties’ proposed 190-foot building at 200 Federal St., Portland, would be the first new high-rise to rise anywhere in Maine for over a decade.
Landry/French Construction, based in Scarborough, has agreed to serve as construction manager, the firm s CEO, Kevin French, and Redfern principal Jonathan Culley told Mainebiz. Landry/French is currently screening subcontractors and expects to have them signed on over the next 30 to 60 days.
