The building, at 186 Main St., will feature 18 market-rate residential units, a restaurant and a retail site.
The city of Auburn, in collaboration with JCS 18 LLC and Great Falls Construction, is beginning work to create a mixed-use building at 186 Main St.
A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 10 a.m., marking the launch of a project the city says will contribute significantly to the vibrancy and growth of Auburn’s downtown area.
The development, designed to emphasize sustainability, will feature 18 market-rate residential units and two commercial spaces — a 5,000-square-foot restaurant and a 1,200-square-foot retail space.
The building will take advantage of both riverfront and Main Street frontage and will be heated and cooled via environmentally friendly electric systems, supporting Auburn’s vision for a greener, more sustainable future.
“This project marks a significant milestone for our city. It not only enhances our downtown area but also aligns with our vision for a sustainable, thriving community. We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on Auburn," said Mayor Jeffery D. Harmon in a news release.
Great Falls Construction, of Gorham, will manage the project, which is already underway.
The construction timeline is a year to 14 months.
“After a couple of years of thoughtful planning and coordination with the city of Auburn, we’re happy to get this project started and add a great building to Auburn’s Main Street for the community to enjoy,” said Cindy Smith, a member of the property management team, JCS 18 LLC, and vice president of Great Falls Construction.
