Consigli Construction is doing renovations for East Brown Cow Management, including on One and Two Canal Plaza (pictured), Hyatt Place and the Fore Street Garage.
Consigli Construction, with a Portland office, officially dedicated Bowdoin College’s Mills Hall project, which Mainebiz previously covered for the innovative use of mass timber.
In downtown Portland and the Old Port, Consigli is working with commercial landlord East Brown Cow Management on various buildings on Middle Street, as well as One and Two Canal Plaza, Hyatt Place and Fore Street Garage.
Elsewhere, Consigli also broke ground in early April on Tyler Technologies’s office project in Orono. The 4-acre site, at 5 College Ave., had been the site of the University Inn Academic Suites, which Tyler acquired in 2021. The inn was demolished and Consigli is constructing a new building at the site. SMRT, which is based in Portland and has an office in Bangor, is the architect.
Additionally, Consigli expects to break ground on the future site for the Roux Institute at Northeastern University Institute. The former B&M Baked Bean plant will be redeveloped by Initiative for Digital Engineering and Life Sciences (IDEALS). More details to come.
Nickerson & O’Day breaks ground on two projects
Nickerson & O’Day Inc., which is based in Brewer, is busy in the Ellsworth-Mount Desert Island area.
The construction firm broke ground on a $33 million project to upgrade the maintenance facilities at Acadia National Park. About 20,000 square feet of unsafe structures will be demolished. The new site will be 32,000 square feet. It will include workshops, equipment storage, meeting rooms and offices when it is completed in fall 2024.
In Trenton, Nickerson & O’Day will manage construction of a $27.7 million transit hub, to be known as the Acadia Gateway Center. With the Island Explorer and other transit based there, the hub is expected to reduce traffic on the U.S. Route 3 corridor, which feeds onto Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. The client is the Maine Department of Transportation. Construction is expected to be finished by May 2025.
DeStefano busy in Maine and New Hampshire
DeStefano & Associates Inc., which is based in New Hampshire, is at work on ground-up construction on two 900-square-foot stores for South Portland-based Aroma Joe’s:
- In Kittery, at 523 U.S. Route 1, to be completed June 30.
- In Seabrook, N.H.,at 270 Lafayette Road, to be completed in December.
- For both projects, TK Architects handled design.
- In Portland, DeStefano recently completed ground-up construction of a 15,000-square-foot warehouse at 165 Industrial Way. A.E. Hodsdon Consulting Engineers was the Architect.
