The Grant Building in downtown Bath was a big part of the community for the better part of a century, and developer Sean Ireland is hoping to bring it back, with the community s help.
Ireland, of Windward Development, is looking for input as he develops the 25,000-square-foot building, one of the final ones in the 18-building Sagadahock Real Estate Association downtown portfolio to be sold.
Redevelopment of the building that began life as a department store and was most recently an indoor park will require a variety of partners, Ireland said.
“This kind of project has a long runway, he said in a news release. One of the challenges is how do you get a large project like this ‘off the ground’ it takes a lot of due diligence and persistence and some creativity.
