Sixth-floor living above downtown Portland, with water views of Back Cove on one side and the City Hall clock tower on the other. Unit 606 at Chestnut Street Lofts offers 935 square feet of open, light-filled space on one of the peninsula's most walkable blocks. Built in 2007, the loft carries the clean industrial character the building is known for: concrete floors, tall ceilings, and oversized windows that pull daylight deep into the room throughout the day. The open plan reads as one generous living space and adapts easily, whether that means a defined sleeping area, a dedicated home office, or both. A full bath with laundry serves the unit. Elevation is what sets this one apart. From six floors up the sightlines clear the rooftops, so the Back Cove water views and the City Hall tower belong to the unit itself, not only to the shared deck. Building amenities include a panoramic shared roof deck overlooking Back Cove, the Portland skyline and Casco Bay, assigned off-street parking, dedicated locked storage, dedicated parking space and keyless secure entry. High-speed internet and premium cable are included in the association fee. Step outside and the city is immediate. The Old Port, Congress Street, the Portland Museum of Art, Monument Square and a nationally recognized restaurant scene are all within a few blocks. Gas-fired hot water heat and public water. Offered as a low-maintenance primary residence or a turnkey pied-à-terre in the heart of Portland.
Government District, located between Congress Street and the Portland Waterfront, is a civic and commercial Portland neighborhood with granite-fronted institutions and working-harbor views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Monument Square at Congress Street and Preble Street, where coffee counters, lunch spots, and storefronts cycle through the day’s foot traffic. Portland City Hall and Merrill Auditorium anchor the district’s public-facing rhythm. Brick mid-rise blocks and formal facades give streets a courthouse-and-theater feel, while nearby piers add salt-air edges. Side streets shift from office lobbies to pubs and galleries after business hours. Sidewalks and plazas keep the pace walkable from downtown to the water.

Downtown Business District
To maintain and enhance the role of the downtown as the business and commercial center of the region, and to enhance and promote the orderly expansion of retail and service businesses downtown, satisfying the related needs of the city’s resident, working, and visitor populations. The B-3 zone encourages increased housing opportunities downtown, including three-family, four-family, townhouse, and multi-family structures to accommodate Portland’s diverse residential population, and supports an active, walkable pedestrian environment through the encouragement of intensive mixed-use activities, enhancement and maintenance of public and private open space, and the enlivenment and increased attractiveness of the street environment. Standards of the B-3 zone require excellence in urban design, to preserve and capitalize on the unique character and historic fabric of downtown Portland by encouraging reuse of significant existing structures and providing opportunities for an enhanced presence and integration of arts and cultural activities. The zone reinforces the role of downtown as a meeting place for community residents and visitors alike from all walks of life and all socio- economic groups by prioritizing access via multiple modes of transportation and enhancing and protecting the pedestrian environment.
