Ocean Prop. to revamp Bar Harbor pier
Hotel developer Ocean Properties is planning a $2 million renovation of a Bar Harbor pier and the businesses on it.
New Hampshire-based Ocean Properties, which owns 10 hotels in Maine, is tearing down a pier that housed a restaurant, ice cream shop and souvenir store and rebuilding it, according to the Bangor Daily News. The 13,000-square-foot pier will be the same size as the one being replaced and will be the new home for Stewman's Downtown restaurant and Stewman's Scoops. Eben Salvatore, the company's director of local operations, said the reason for the new pier is to allow easier access for patrons by moving the buildings closer to the West Street sidewalk and to modernize the restaurant's kitchen.
The new pier, expected to be complete by Memorial Day, could also host a traditional lobster pound, Salvatore told the paper. Ocean Properties has also proposed a new 110-room hotel in Bar Harbor, and last January the company bowed out of negotiations to develop the Maine State Pier in Portland.
