Opened prior to the recession, the property experienced turnover in tenants similar to other facilities across the northeast, including a decision by Lowe’s to close their store. Gorrill Palmer provided design and permitting services to Market Basket for the redevelopment of the Lowe’s space into a facility for their use, as well as an additional 17,000 sf of tenant space. With a store opening late in 2013, Market Basket has provided new opportunities for shoppers in this area, which has benefitted other tenants.

Traffic improvements for the project included designating Senator Way (formerly Storey Street) as a one-way entrance to the Project Site as well as two adjacent commercial uses. An interconnecting site road provides access to the three distinct development pods as well as to Capitol Street Extension. Incorporation of a new signalized drive on Western Avenue serves as the site exit. The on-site intersection with Senator Way is interconnected to the Western Avenue signal system.
Seen as the Southern Gateway to the City by the Planning Board, the treatment of the development as viewed from the Maine Turnpike was a key component of the local review process. Granite retaining walls were selected to serve as the focal point for the Turnpike view and enhanced by the addition of cedar fencing to screen loading areas, architectural upgrades to the rear of the structures, and landscaped berms to provide screening and relief.

Surrounded on two sides by tributaries of Long Creek, the development of this peninsula required careful attention with respect to water quality enhancement. Long Creek is an Urban Impaired watershed, and multiple measures have been incorporated into the stormwater treatment process including: mecahnical separation, storage for base flow augmentation, soil filters and flow dispersion. Long Creek was one of the first watersheds in the Country to receive Residual Designation Authority under the Clean Water Act by the USEPA thereby requiring special consideration of water quality treatment to address watershed impairments.

The new courthouse, parking, and infrastructure are being constructed adjacent to the existing historical Kennebec County Courthouse. A pedestrian bridge over Perham Street will connect the two buildings. The desire to link the two structures to allow continued use of the historical Superior Courtroom for ceremonies and other functions resulted in the need to have two stories of the proposed facility below grade relative to the Historic Courthouse, which provided challenges to the Design Team on the steeply sloping site with an elevation change of 37 feet.

Hope Avenue is the third phase of single-family houses in this area. The fourth phase, age-restricted lots, has been approved and is currently under construction on the north end of the project. In addition, Contract Zone approval has been obtained for an additional 55 age-restricted condominium units on an adjacent 24 acre parcel.
