M a i n e — A P h oto P o rt r A i t o f t h e P i n e t r ee S tAt e P r o f i l e s i n e x c e l l e n c e 152 P h o t o c o u r t e s y o f u s n av y T he extraordinary vision of the reuse of the recently closed Naval Air Station Brunswick is a mixed-use development project to benefit the Midcoast region and the State of Maine. This dynamic project includes a world-class executive airport, a business-focused college campus, a number of technology-oriented companies, beautiful residen- tial neighborhoods, and substantial areas set aside for outdoor recreation and conservation, making it one of the most exciting and desirable real estate locations in New England. The Master Developer of the project is the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA), which was established by the State of Maine to manage the transition of the base property from military to civil- ian use; manage the newest airport in New England; and create new high-quality jobs in innovative in- dustries. MRRA has the ability to either lease or sell buildings and land to quality businesses and real es- tate developers. Brunswick Landing: Maine's Center for Innovation is the business hub of the former base property. Bruns- wick Landing is the State's premier business location with centers of excellence in aerospace, composites and advanced materials, renewable energy, and informa- tion technology industries. This beautiful property is a 1,700 acre business campus equipped with state-of- the-art infrastructure and facilities, possessing over 1.6 million square feet of commercial, industrial and pro- fessional office space and a world-class aviation com- plex, with robust information technology and utility infrastructure, and a public nine-hole golf course. Brunswick Landing is home to several leading edge companies including: Oxford Networks, Kestrel Aircraft Company and Mölnlycke Health Care with its brand new high-tech manufacturing facility. Mölnlycke Health Care chose to locate its new, state-of-the-art facility at Brunswick Landing because of the extensive existing and planned infrastructure and the vision that MRRA has for developing the property. Maine Technology In- stitute is located at Brunswick Landing and works with entrepreneurs, innovators, established businesses and institutions conducting research and development to help them fund and grow their big ideas. The Topsham Commerce Park is located at the former Topsham Annex and offers opportunities for economic and recreation development. With 74 acres of prime real estate nestled within the village of Top- sham, Topsham Commerce Park utilizes the existing facilities and infrastructure, providing the framework for a potential redevelopment of the site into a more intensive addition to Topsham's urban landscape. This property offers facilities for professional offices, com- mercial space and community uses. Located at the former Naval Air Station Brunswick, Brunswick Landing and the Brunswick Executive Airport offer prime real estate options for development. Brunswick Landing is one of the most exciting and desirable real estate locations in New England. Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority
