Seven of the nine apartments at 341 Water St. were leased before the apartments were officially listed Monday. Developer Matt Pouliot wasn t concerned about the other two earlier this week there were 17 showings scheduled. They ll be leased by the end of this week, Pouliot said as he stood in front of the 16,128-square-foot building that caps the southern end of Water Street. He and his wife, Heather, bought the building in 2018 and are just completing a renovation that is not only bringing more residents, but also commercial tenants, to downtown Augusta.
The ground-floor commercial space will be home to anchor tenant Maine Math and Science Alliance, which has been spending the past month moving into 2,789 L-shaped square feet at 343 Water St. The organization provides STEM training to educators and is expected to bring hundreds of visitors a year to downtown.
