The Downs

Located “south of the split” (I-95/I-295), Scarborough’s Town Center will add 320,000 square feet of retail space, 60,000 square feet of medical office space, an additional 270 residential units, and a boutique hotel. The Town Center also includes a main anchor building reminiscent of the iconic Scarborough Downs Grandstand in design, and it will house restaurants and breweries with outdoor and rooftop dining spaces that overlook a central greenspace. Additional mixed-use buildings will be situated around the green offering first-floor restaurant and retail, with upscale, amenitized housing on the second and third floors.

Health care provider, InterMed, is finalizing permitting and is currently under construction. Allagash will open summer 2025 with a state-of-the-art tasting room. Overlooking the Town Center will be 96 luxury condominium units and 60 market rate apartments, and Maine’s first-ever affordable housing building for people with physical disabilities, 3iHomes.

Scarborough’s Town Center broke ground in late 2023, making Maine history as the first new-build downtown within an established community. As the most desired part of the 577-acre development, the Town Center will link the mixed-use residential portion of The Downs, which currently has 622 housing units of various types, including condominiums, apartments, senior and affordable housing, and some single-family homes.
