Developers return to Planning Board with revised design for 165 Washington mixed-use project

City of Portland planning staff and project representatives on Tuesday reviewed a revised major site plan for a proposed seven‑story mixed‑use building at 165 Washington Ave., a parcel in the East End neighborhood that was rezoned to B2 community business under the city’s recode process. The applicant described the project as a high‑density residential building with ground‑floor retail and shared amenities tailored toward graduate students and downtown workers.
