From left, Bryan Plourde of the Dunham Group with Taylor Woodward and Matt Wheaton, president and executive vice president respectively of DEW Con- struction Corp., in the lobby of 2 Market St., Portland. P H O T O / T I M G R E E N WAY Meeting of minds T he real estate deal came about through a meet- ing of minds between DEW and brokers Bryan Plourde of the Dunham Group and Steve Baumann of Compass Commercial Brokers. Baumann also co-owns the property with Portland developer Jonathan Cohen. Anchored by kitchen and home products store LeRoux Kitchen, the building had the fourth floor vacant when the two bought it in 2021. A tenant, Bean Group, immediately came along. Then DEW came along just as the Bean Group was getting ready to move. "That's a testament to that building being a desirable space," said Baumann. Plourde represented DEW and worked with Woodward as well as Brian Gallagher and Matthew Wheaton, DEW's director of business development and executive vice president respectively. After numerous property tours, DEW identified features in the market that were right for them. Said Plourde, "We spent quite a bit of time and, at the last minute, Steve Baumann and I connected on the idea of a larger space that might offer a business connection to future projects, as well. This meeting of the minds ended up working well for everyone."
