Waterfront Condos Get Go Ahead

Back in December, developer Paul Madden’s proposal for an 85,000 sq. ft. condominium and spa complex on the waterfront was rejected, mainly because the building exceeded the 36,000 sq. ft. allowed for in the Waterfront Comprehensive Development Area. Mr. Madden persevered with a cooperative approach and a lot of patience. After several design revisions Planning Board accepted the design below and Council approved it at last week’s monthly public meeting. This view is looking east from Lobster on the Wharf.

Here are alternate views from the Seaport wharf, and from the water. And here the site plan.

    Has anyone told the prospective residents that there will be a bright orange World War II landing craft parked in their front yard all summer long ;-)

    Took me a minute to figure that one out. I thought it was from the Vietnam War era.

    So are they using the old facade for the new look and building up?

    Mike, I think you’re talking about the hotel, not the condos… but yes, the old facade will remain and the hotel will build up behind it.

    I often wish that space had been left as a rail yard. One storm surge flooding the first floor and those condo owners will be crying for the taxpayer to bail them out of this mistake.
