More condominiums are underway at the Downs, the 577-acre mixed-use complex off US Route 1 in Scarborough.
The Cross Street condominiums are the first housing to be built in the evolving town center, and will consist of 96 units in two buildings. The first building is projected to be completed by the end of 2025, and those units are now being pre-sold. The second building is set to break ground in the next few months.
The buildings will ring the green space in the future town center, and will range in size from 680 to 1,244 square feet. The one-, two- and three-bedroom units are priced from $399,000 to $800,000 and include covered parking, outdoor entertainment areas, co-working and gathering spaces, and a rooftop deck.
“This housing type is new for Scarborough,” said Dan Bacon, development director for Downs. “And we know a healthy housing market needs a variety of price points and unit styles.
“Out of more than 600 occupied housing units [in the Downs], 84% are small condos, townhomes and apartments, and many meet senior, workforce and affordable requirements set by the state,” he noted.
“We’re building a diverse mix to make Scarborough more accessible to all demographics,” he said.
The Cross Street units are being built by Risbara Bros. Construction Co. Dirigo Architectural Engineering LLC is the project manager.
