246 Eastern Prom

Perched along Portland’s Eastern Promenade, the 246 Eastern Prom housing project thoughtfully integrates urban living with a strong emphasis on landscape design. The site plan carefully balances development with preservation, removing only essential trees while introducing a lush planting strategy that exceeds city requirements. A total of 27 trees and 159 plantings frame the property’s 795-foot frontage, softening the transition between the buildings and the street. Thoughtfully placed buffers screen utilities and storage areas, while the parking lot is enhanced with 14 trees to create a greener streetscape. Despite narrow sidewalks and underground utilities limiting traditional street tree placement, additional plantings near Newbury Street ensure a welcoming, well-vegetated public realm.
