Bar Harbor, ME – The steel and plank framing is underway for the West Street Hotel, a new luxury boutique hotel and mixed-use development overlooking the waterfront and near the Bar Harbor town dock. Pro Con Inc of Manchester, N.H. is the architect and construction manager for the mixed-use development that will include the hotel, retail space and restaurants. The developer and owner of the property is West Street Properties LLC of Portsmouth, N.H.
“We expect the framing to be completed by the end of September and the exterior partitions will be completed by the end of October,” stated the project manager for Pro Con Inc. “The rough-in subs will begin working as soon as the interior safety features are installed.” The hotel is expected to be completed in late spring 2012.
West Street Hotel’s unique location along the waterfront offers incredible views of the harbor and is in easy walking distance to the downtown.
All of the hotel’s 102 guestrooms will feature water views and individual balconies. The hotel’s public spaces will have upscale finishes including tile floors, granite countertops and custom millwork. Plans call for the hotel to include a restaurant, roof top pool, and a fitness room. The development will have ground level retail spaces available for future commercial tenants.
