New team members Cassie Demick, Susie Pollard, Carly Parent and Luke Malone

Malone Commercial Brokers (MCB) is pleased to announce the expansion of their team with these four professionals:

Luke Malone comes to MCB after four years of development work with Essex North. During his tenure there, Luke helped coordinate the roll-out of the AC Hotel, the 20 Thames Condominium Building, and managed the financial analysis and preconstruction of the 5 India Apartment building. In addition to an M.S. in Real Estate from the University of Denver, Luke’s industry experience will be an asset to the brokerage team at Malone as he supports them in this research and analyst role.

Susie Pollard recently relocated from Austin, Texas, to join MCB as Marketing Specialist. Originally from Florida, her experience includes photography, design, and marketing, and spans from Paris, France, Los Angeles, and Austin, where she worked in commercial real estate for over a decade at local and international firms including JLL and CBRE. Susie is excited to bring her creative innovation and industry knowledge to Maine and the dynamic Malone team.

Carly Parent comes to MCB as Broker Assistant and Marketing Specialist. In addition to a previous marketing position with The Boulos Company, she holds a marketing degree from the University of Maine. Carly now leverages her industry and marketing experience for MCB brochures and presentation design, social media content creation, media planning, and general broker support.

Cassie Demick recently joined MCB as Operations Assistant. A graduate of the University of Maine in Orono, Cassie is a great fit for this multifaceted role at MCB, where she can utilize her marketing and photography skills in addition to providing general support to the Malone team. Cassie is especially pleased to bring something new to a family-owned business local to Maine, where her own roots are grounded.

Luke, Carly, Cassie and Susie are looking forward to working with the MCB team and our clients in Portland and all throughout Maine.

Gorham Welcomes Rare Development Opportunity

Maine Commercial Real Estate

The Gorham Industrial Park is poised for rapid growth since its purchase in 2020 by the Town of Gorham. Covering an area of approximately 141 acres and well-situated with close access to I-95, the Gorham Industrial Park is expected to attract substantial interest from industrial and creative business owners seeking a stake in Maine’s growing economy.

With potential financing with the Town of Gorham via their Revolving Loan Fund program and a central location in Greater Portland, Mike Anderson, lead broker for the park, expects the lots to sell out within the next couple of years, “The seller is a forward-thinking, progressive municipality, and we’re confident we will find the right mix of businesses to take advantage of this rare development opportunity.”

Restaurant Business Saved

Like so many small businesses across the country, Anthony’s Italian Kitchen in Portland was hit hard due to the pandemic. The owner, Anthony Barrasso, submitted a video to Barstool Sports for its small business fund. See what happened in WMTW’s Channel 8 report and its happy birthday (Anthony’s) outcome.

Located in the same location at 151 Middle Street for many years, Anthony also gave a nod to his landlord: "I think Tim Soley deserves a big shout out here because he has really kept this place alive and he's a wonderful landlord."
