Josh Levy, Principal & Co-Founder of Waterstone Properties, sits down with MEREDA President Shannon Richards for the fourth episode in the second season of MEREDA Matters – the podcast that puts you in the room with the people who are driving responsible development in Maine.

Levy, who is behind the 100 acre Rock Row project in Westbrook, talks about growing up in Cape Cod and having an early passion for landscaping and obsession for retail development. He goes on to discuss the unique challenge and opportunity of developing Rock Row, a former quarry site, and his extensive planning process behind his vision for the site. As part of that process, Levy and his team went on a research and discovery tour of 27 cities, conducted community interviews to find out what people wanted, and built partnerships with 36 regional and local organizations. Richards and Levy go on to discuss the importance of mentors in his career and his passion for mentoring others.

The conversation also includes an overview of the multi-phase project, which has a healthcare campus opening in January 2025 and will also include housing, retail, dining, entertainment, and outdoor recreation.
