MEREDA Recognizes its 2024 Notable Project Award Recipients - Each year, the Maine Real Estate & Development Association (MEREDA) recognizes some of the state’s most “noteworthy and significant” real estate projects, completed in the previous year. The exemplary projects from across the state, completed in 2024, not only embody MEREDA’s belief in responsible real estate development, but also exemplify best practices in the industry, contributing to Maine’s economic growth by significant investment of resources and job creation statewide. This year, MEREDA honored projects from throughout the state, with each receiving special recognition at MEREDA’s 2025 “Notable Night” social celebration in May. In a multi-part series exclusive to the Maine Real Estate Insider, we’ll provide an up-close look at the most notable commercial development projects of the past year that are helping to fuel Maine’s economy in terms of investment and job creation. MEREDA is proud to recognize responsible development based upon criteria including environmental sustainability, economic impact, energy efficiency, difficulty of the development, uniqueness, social impact and job creation. Mainebiz also featured each of our Notable Project Recipients in their inaugural “Groundbreaking Maine” publication. Be sure to check it out! https://www.mainebiz.biz/special-edition/groundbreaking-maine-2025 MEREDA’s 2024 Top 9 recipients include: Firehouse Village, Firehouse Ventures & Avesta Housing (Scarborough) 99 Western Apartments, Mastway Development (Augusta) The Malone Family Tower, MaineHealth and Perkins&Will (Portland) Seaport Community Health Center, Penobscot Community Health Care (Belfast) Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument: Tekαkαpimək Contact Station, Elliotsville Foundation (T3 R7 WELS) Vertical Harvest, Vertical Harvest Maine (Westbrook) Stacy M. Symbol Apartments, Westbrook Development Corporation (Westbrook) Nightingale & State Street Campus Redevelopment, NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties (Portland) Front Street Redevelopment, Portland Housing Authority (Portland) Please join us this week in celebrating Nightingale & State Street Campus Redevelopment. MEREDA: Describe the building and project. NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: Redevelopment of the Mercy Hospital State Street campus into a high-density, mixed-income residential campus featuring 260 new apartments and 9 new homes, a self-storage facility, and several small retail spaces is an excellent example of smart growth. The project involved adaptive reuse of the historic hospital building, creation of outdoor public space in a shared woonerf, improvements to existing utility infrastructure, implementation of a Traffic Demand Management Plan to encourage and support alternative forms of transportation, and provision of a range of housing choice (market rate, affordable, and workforce), both for rent and for sale. In addition, the redevelopment transformed surface parking into housing, recreated the street wall along Winter Street, and stitched back together the neighborhood that had been divided when the hospital was built. MEREDA: What was the impetus for this project? NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: 2Northern Light Mercy Hospital issued a Request for Proposals in July of 2018. NewHeight Group was invited to respond along with approximately 50 other firms. NHG submitted a proposal in November 2018 with development team members Community Housing of Maine and the Portland Housing Authority. In December of 2018, NHG was one of three teams invited to interview with the selection committee. In January 2019, NewHeight Group’s successful best and final proposal was selected. MEREDA: That sounds like quite a process. How long were you in the planning stages before construction started? NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: In October of 2019 NewHeight Group executed the Purchase & Sale agreement with Northern Light Health. In December of that year, NewHeight Group entered into an agreement with Redfern Properties to complete the project as 50/50 partners. The acquisition was finalized in February of 2020 (just three weeks before Covid hit!), and the development team launched into rezoning the property, planning, permitting, extension of the period of significance for the existing National Register district, local historic approvals, Part 1 approval from the National Park Service, and hiring Zachau Construction as Construction Manager at-Risk. The project was granted full planning board approval in August of 2021. MEREDA: Tell us about the most challenging aspect of getting this project completed. NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: This project had myriad challenges. Perhaps the largest was that Mercy Hospital, the primary building, was an operating hospital right up until construction start, so the development team was unable to do any exploratory demolition prior to construction start. The building was known to contain asbestos containing material (mostly pipe wrap), but exactly how much was unknown. The building’s low ceilings also presented significant design and coordination challenges. The project also included undergrounding of existing utilities to make room for three new buildings along Winter Street—an extraordinarily complicated undertaking in this location. MEREDA: Something unexpected you learned along the way was…. NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: The development team was surprised to discover that what appeared to be original historic wooden columns buried in the walls were in fact made of concrete wrapped in a wooden veneer. While it is less surprising that many people feel a connection to the old hospital building – births, deaths, a long tenure as employee – the overwhelming number of people with a connection was a surprise. MEREDA: Now that it’s complete, what feature of the project do you think makes it the most notable? NewHeight Group & Redfern Properties: Perhaps the most notable element of this project is the woonerf, a Dutch term meaning “Street for Living” which describes a space shared by pedestrians, cyclists, and cars. The woonerf is interior to the block between the historic hospital building now known as the Nightingale, and the two new construction affordable apartment buildings developed by Community Housing of Maine in partnership with the Portland Housing Authority. The woonerf functions as a shared public outdoor space and binds the buildings into a campus. The flush condition of the woonerf, along with landscaping and seating, invites pedestrian use while also allowing for slow vehicle movement and parking.

MEREDA’s Fall Conference outlines challenges and opportunities

Portland, Maine - MEREDA hosted its Fall Conference on October 23rd where nearly 300 real estate professionals gathered at USM’s Hannaford Hall. The focus of the half-day conference was to discuss the challenges faced when completing housing projects and to learn about innovative approaches to increasing the number of housing units completed. Housing creation is one of Maine’s most significant needs and MEREDA’s event provided an opportunity for industry professionals to hear different perspectives from local, regional, and national experts on this important and complex issue. “MEREDA is actively working on solutions at the State and local levels,” explained Shannon Richards, founder of Hay Runner and MEREDA’s volunteer president. “This conference is an opportunity for MEREDA members to hear firsthand from peers who are actively involved in the housing effort on a daily basis.” The conference opened with a keynote presentation from Dr. Christopher Herbert, Managing Director of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, who cautioned the audience to be prepared for some gloom and doom. As he explained, there’s no silver bullet for the housing crisis. Home affordability is an issue nationwide with no simple solution. And although the situation here is dire, Dr. Herbert assured the audience that housing isn’t as bad in Maine as it is in other parts of the country. And, he left the audience with the optimistic notion that there are innovative – and feasible -- solutions. The morning continued with a mid-year economic update from Kenneth J. Entenmann, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Economist, NBT Bank/NBT Wealth. Entenmann looked at the impact of tariffs, immigration, taxes and regulation on housing and the overall economy. He sees no sign of a deep dark recession and sees strength in the economy. However, he doesn’t see much that would improve affordability for first-time home buyers. Summing things up, Entenmann said, “Overall, things are less uncertain that a year ago. That doesn’t mean they are all better, but the market does like certainty.” Elizabeth Frazier, Partner at Pierce Atwood, moderated a discussion on municipal challenges faced not only by developers, but also by municipalities. Panelists included Vanessa L. Farr from Haley Ward, Hope Eye from Eastern Maine Development Corp., and Benjamin R.K. Breadmore from the Town of Holden. In that discussion it became clear that with municipal budgets stretched thin, code enforcement officers often carry additional responsibilities, and some ideas were presented to improve the consistency of code enforcement and expediency of permitting. Dr. Herbert returned to the stage to lead a discussion on innovative solutions. The panel included Rebecca Hatfield from Hancock Lumber, Kyle Barker from Primary Projects, and Chris Marshall from GreenMars. The group discussed the pros and cons of a wide variety of housing solutions ranging from modular and panelized construction to tiny homes, condos, single family homes, and co-housing ideas. To make these ideas workable solutions would require some changes both in terms of zoning and expectations of the marketplace. The consensus of the panel was that while not everything will work, it is worth trying new approaches to the development of housing units of all types. With our need for more housing becoming more dire every moment, having collaborative discussions and learning of other creative building solutions is essential for Maine’s future success. MEREDA remains committed to creating the opportunities for experts and novices from all walks of real estate to come together and work together on meaningful solutions that benefit all.

MEREDA Recognizes Four Outstanding Individuals for Their Contributions to Real Estate Development and Policy in Maine

February 1, 2022

On January 20, 2022, the Maine Real Estate and Development Association (MEREDA) recognized four outstanding individuals for their significant and lasting contributions to real estate development in the State of Maine. The awards were presented in person at this year’s Forecast Conference at the Cross Insurance Arena, which also featured an option to watch the presentations virtually as well. Click here to watch the awards ceremony. Paul Peck has been selected for this year’s Robert B. Patterson Jr. Founder’s Award, for his extraordinary commitment and dedication to MEREDA over the years. A problem solver and a leader, Paul has provided many valuable contributions to MEREDA. An active and enthusiastic member of MEREDA’s Board of Directors since 2010, Paul served as volunteer President from 2016 - 2018, and before that co-chaired MEREDA’s Conference Committee. His contributions were recognized previously in 2012 when he received MEREDA’s President’s Award. He currently serves on MEREDA’s Executive and Public Policy Committees, where MEREDA continues to benefit from Paul’s legal expertise and career experiences Paul is the founder of LWS Development LLC, a Maine real estate development company that has developed housing, assisted living, and resort communities. Since 1992, Paul has also practiced law at the firm of Drummond & Drummond, with a concentration on real estate law, business law, and creditors’ rights. The President’s Award is given by MEREDA’s current volunteer President in recognition of someone who has made significant contributions on MEREDA’s behalf. This year’s President’s Award goes to a remarkable individual, Andrea Cianchette Maker, for her lasting contributions to MEREDA in her role as Public Policy Counsel. For the past ten years, Andrea has guided the work of MEREDA’s Public Policy and Local Issues Committee, serving as Public Policy Counsel and a key advisor to the Executive Committee and the Board. In that time, Andrea has helped elevate MEREDA’s public profile as the state’s premier trade association for commercial real estate and development. From her work in Augusta to her annual presentations at the Forecast Conference and everything in between, Andrea takes a thoughtful, collaborative, and effective approach to advocacy work and public policy engagement. A true servant leader, Andrea has helped build up and provide guidance to MEREDA’s advocacy and engagement approach, helping us ensure a more fair, practical, and predictable landscape for commercial development in Maine. Andrea has been steadfastly vigilant for MEREDA members’ interests, and she has helped ensure that MEREDA’s voice is consistently heard during debates in Augusta and at the local level. In particular, her work assisting the Public Policy Committee to determine its position or level of engagement on specific bills has been invaluable to maximizing MEREDA’s resources and impact. Andrea announced her retirement from Pierce Atwood in the fall of 2020. Her leadership and dedication to MEREDA will continue to positively affect our organization long after she leaves. We are grateful for her time, thoughtfulness, passion, and commitment to furthering MEREDA’s interests and helping drive economic development in Maine. The MEREDA Public Policy Award is presented each year to an individual whose efforts have made a significant impact on public policy changes that benefit responsible real estate development and ownership in Maine. This year we recognize the contributions of Representative Ryan Fecteau, Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives. In his role as Speaker, Representative Fecteau has been a model leader for other legislators, working across the aisle and with his own party to seek compromise, consensus, and practical solutions to the real problems faced by Maine people. Despite being the youngest Speaker of the House in the United States, Representative Fecteau has made considerable strides toward improving the lives of Mainers. Of particular importance to MEREDA has been the Speaker’s steadfast efforts to increase affordable housing and improve the economic development landscape in Maine. In 2020, the Speaker worked to successfully enact a state low income housing tax credit - a longtime goal of affordable housing advocates. Modeled off the federal low income housing tax credit, the state credit has already been impactful to the development and construction of dozens of affordable housing units. Speaker Fecteau’s efforts on the credit were critical to its passage. Further demonstrating his understanding of the housing and development landscape, Speaker Fecteau worked this past session to establish a Commission to Increase Housing Opportunities in Maine by Studying Zoning and Land Use Restrictions. That Commission’s final report contains several recommendations that we hope will be considered by the Second Regular Session of the 130th Legislature. We applaud Speaker Fecteau for taking a critical look at how to address Maine’s affordable housing shortage. The Volunteer of the Year Award is awarded to those who generously share their time, talents, and energy with MEREDA. This year we honor the contributions of Craig Young, CCIM. Craig joined the MEREDA Board in 2015 and serves on MEREDA’s Executive Committee as Vice President, and as co-chair of MEREDA’s Conference Committee. With his can-do attitude, Craig exemplifies a leadership role that is particularly welcomed in a volunteer organization such as MEREDA, and was especially appreciated while we navigated the pandemic together. From emceeing the January 2021 Forecast and Spring Conferences to moderating several of our Morning Menu breakfast events, we are truly grateful for the expertise and time he has shared with our organization this past year. We couldn’t have done the 2021 events without him! Craig is a Partner and Senior Broker at The Boulos Company, a commercial real estate firm that blends Maine and New Hampshire market knowledge with a global network and is dedicated to serving owners, investors, and tenants. MEREDA congratulates these four exceptional members, and thanks every volunteer whose contributions of time and talent make the association’s continued success possible.
