A three-warehouse development that began three years ago on Broadway in South Portland still has a focus on light industrial, but as build-out continues, it s attracting tenants outside of that sector.
When developer Rob Plummer bought the 9.85-acre site at 2401 Broadway in December 2017, it had been on the market for a decade, a holdover from the Great Recession. At the time, he planned three warehouses geared toward the light industrial market.That s still the plan, but in a tight market for wide-open space, different types of tenants are emerging.
In August, day care center Creative Beginnings moved into 12,000 square feet in the site s second building. The center, which had operated nearby at 245 Gorham Road in Scarborough for 14 years, joined Heavy Machines Inc., which moved into a free-standing 6,000-square-foot building that was the site s first construction.
