In addition to two previously reported projects in Portland — NewHeight Group's 31-unit Verdante at Lincoln Park and Portland Housing Authority's Boyd Street Apartments — it has these other projects in the works. At Brunswick Landing, it is building the new Wild Oats Bakery & Cafe on Admiral Fitch Avenue. e operation has outgrown its longtime spot in downtown Brunswick and will move to Brunswick Landing late this year. Framing is up on the new site, which will be 19,000 square feet. Elsewhere in Brunswick, for Bowdoin College, Wright-Ryan is building the Harpswell Apartments, three 44-bed residence halls at 80 Harpswell Road. e apartments will have configurations of 4-, 6- and 8-bedrooms. Each structure will be three stories and 17,700 square feet, and will meet Passive House standards, according to the college. e apartments will replace the college's Harpswell Street Apartment complex, which dates to 1973. New apartments will be ready for the upcoming aca- demic year. P H O T O / P E T E R VA N A L L E N NEW OWNERS IN LINE FOR LONGTIME CONTRACTING FIRM The Penobscot Co., a contractor specializing in historic restorations founded by David Nazaroff in 1970, has its succession plan in place. Nazaroff, who not long ago feared he would have to close down the busi- ness to get his well-earned retire- ment, has brought on two Maine natives who have "boomeranged" home after construction careers elsewhere. Clay Maker, grandson of Cianbro co-founder Chuck Cianchette, has experience as a construction project manager. He has worked at Cianbro, but also at a Washington, D.C., project management firm, Hammes Co. He connected with Nazaroff a year ago, discussing the possibility of taking over the business while insti- tuting leaner and greener building techniques. Maker brought a former co-worker, Jon DiCentes, Cianbro's former gen- eral manager of commercial building, as his partner. "I initially looked at Clay's energy and excitement, I saw how he thinks, and I thought, 'that was me, 50 years ago,'" Nazaroff said. "With the introduction of Jon into the mix who brings with him an astounding resume and experience level, I knew I had found the two people who will take this company to the next level." e plan is for the young team to gradually take over ownership.
