In downtown Brunswick, DeStefano & Associates is building a mixed-use property with apartments and ground-floor retail.
Two significant projects are underway in downtowns in Brunswick and Rockport. In Brunswick, DeStefano & Associates has much of the framing and sheathing up on a three-story mixed-use building. The site will include ground-floor retail and 16 apartments on upper floors. The space will include a glassed-in porch and three-season patio.
It’s in the Tontine Mall at 149 Maine St. The mall’s owner is Dan Catlin of Commercial Properties Inc.
The residences will be one- and two-bedroom apartments. The space includes 10,000 square feet of retail. Boulos is representing the retail space.
Wild Oats Bakery & Cafe moved out of the mall last year, and is now at Brunswick Landing. Remaining tenants include Eveningstar Cinema, Elizabeth Nails and Spa, Edward Jones and Homes and Harbor.

Cianbro, Maine’s largest construction firm, finished a 5,000-ton concrete entrance structure for the Superflood Basin Project at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The massive structure was visible from many points on the waterfront. The project took 18 months and was completed at Ricker’s Wharf in Portland, then moved by barge down the Fore River, into Casco Bay and south along the coast to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
