Property Highlights

Former Use: The Site is the 1.12-acre Lot 7 portion of the larger Thompson?s Point property. The Site is currently undeveloped. The parcel and surrounding properties are unpaved driveways or parking with the Fore River to the east, parking lots and an outdoor concert venue/winter activity area to the south, commercial building undergoing redevelopment to the west (Brick South), and previously redeveloped commercial building to the north (Brick North). As the Site is undeveloped, utilities are not currently provided to the Site. Water can be provided to the Site by the Portland Water District, sewer services by the City of Portland, and electrical service by Central Maine Power. In the late 1800s, Thompson?s Point was developed as a railroad yard for the Maine Central Railroad. The Site itself was occupied by railroad tracks. Adjoining buildings were originally constructed prior to 1909 and were used as machine shops, train car repair, and planing. Railroad use continued through the 1930s, and by the 1940s other industry moved into the adjoining buildings including an ordnance plant; however, the Site continued to be occupied by railroad tracks. From the 1960s through the 1980s the tracks were removed from the Site, and a variety of industry and commercial businesses occupied the adjoining buildings, and most of the undeveloped portions of the peninsula, including the Site, were used for storage of various materials and stockpiling. The perimeter of the peninsula was gradually filled in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly at the southern end, to expand the usable land on the peninsula. The Site was used for storage of containers between approximately 1997 and 2012. By 2014, the Site and rest of Thompson?s Point was clear of stored materials and containers.
