“Gorrill Palmer is truly our partner in business, consistently exceeding expectations with the level of service they provide on our development projects. With a “client first” approach and commitment to excellence, they have established a winning culture that flows through the entire organization. Having Gorrill Palmer on our team has given us a tremendous engineering advantage.”

Ken Labarre

Natick, MA 01760

“We absolutely must give a special tip of the cap to the planning board, and especially to Gorrill Palmer, the civil engineers on the project who prepared this extremely complex proposal for planning board review. This is by far one of the largest mixed-use real estate projects to be built in Portland, Maine for several decades. The level of detail and professionalism those folks brought to the preparation and review process is impossible to over-state. (Reference Shipyard Brewing Redevelopment which includes Vets First Choice Headquarters)”

Nathan Bateman
Vice President
Bateman Partners

"Gorrill Palmer is more of a partner than consultant for us. We have done numerous developments with them over the past 10 years. In each case they heard our needs and communicated them clearly to city officials. Cities and agencies trust and respect them. But it never ended there. Even after receiving all permits, they were advocates for us within communities and in regulatory agencies.

They work extremely well with our construction teams and jumped when we needed anything. Most recently we were in a jam and GP drove 3 hours for a site visit and returned to their office to complete the work needed. The revised site plan was submitted to the city and we received our certificate of occupancy the next morning."

Sean Riley, CEO
Maine Course Hospitality Group
Freeport, Maine

"What stands out in having GP on the team is their ability to navigate the regulatory process, including meeting the ever-changing rigorous technical demands required of land development projects, while maintaining an awareness of other critical elements ­ economics, schedule, tenants - that an owner needs to balance in order to deliver a successful project. The difference is that GP brings to an owner's team day-to-day principal level experience and attention that helps an owner set a course and manage the inevitable bumps along the way."

Vets First Choice Project Approved in Portland

October 22, 2018 by Lynn Ericson

Vets First Choice has received city approval to begin construction on a new headquarters in downtown Portland to support the company’s rapid growth and expansion. The Portland Planning Board approved a site plan for the 170,000-square-foot facility, which will feature space for more than 1,500 employees including offices, a pharmacy, a fulfillment center and software and data science labs.

The project, at 12 Mountfort St., represents a major milestone for Vets First Choice, as the company looks to establish a larger presence in the region and accommodate the significant growth it has experienced over the past few years.

Vets First co-founder and CEO Benjamin Shaw expects to add more than 1,000 new high-quality jobs in southern Maine and believes this downtown location will be critical towards attracting world-class talent. The facility also would serve as the headquarters for a planned new company that would be created when it merges with the animal health division of Henry Schein Inc. of Melville, New York.
