continued growth of the downtown, including The Dash, our 51-unit apartment community
in development.

What makes a mixed-use development a place where people can connect and the community can grow?

It starts with creating places that support the way people actually live.

Healthcare is an important part of that vision. With InterMed, P.A. coming to The Downs, an essential service will be located alongside residential, dining, retail and other community amenities.

The goal is a more connected experience, where a medical appointment can be part of a larger day spent taking care of errands, meeting friends or enjoying the Town Center.

That’s what placemaking is about: creating places that connect the everyday needs of a community.

InterMed at The Downs will bring us one step closer to that bigger vision.

At the New England Real Estate Journal Maine State of the Market panel in August, Dan Bacon shared how The Downs, Scarborough is moving into a new phase of development—one focused on creating amenities and opportunities that extend beyond the community itself.

"We're now getting into the Town Center aspect of the project and are going to be delivering amenities that don't just benefit residents in our project, but Scarborough as well as the region"

As The Downs continues to evolve, the Town Center will play an important role in creating a connected, vibrant destination that contributes to Scarborough and the broader Southern Maine region.
