Marinko and Stevens of The Boulos Co. lease 3,200 s/f office to MANP

30 Danforth Street - Portland, ME

Portland, ME Maine Association of Nonprofits (MANP) found a new home at 30 Danforth St. Since 1994, MANP’s mission has been to enrich the quality of personal and community life in Maine.

The Boulos Company’s Samantha Marinko and Nate Stevens represented MANP in the transaction.

The group was headquartered at 565 Congress St. for nearly 30 years and had been looking for a new space since COVID-19 hit. In January, they went fully remote, moving office equipment into a storage unit and various staff members’ garages with the goal of finding a new office space by summer. The 3,200 s/f space at 30 Danforth ticked all the boxes, providing a mix of private and shared office space, conference space, staff parking, and an elevator.

“We’re excited for this new chapter,” said Jennifer Hutchins MANP’s executive director. “We took our time in this search and were able to hone in on what mattered most to us in a workspace. It’s particularly exciting to have our team be able to work in person together again, which we haven’t done since March of 2020.”

The reality is that we will never return to in-person office work full time, but it was important for us to have an inviting, well-kept space for our people when they do come to work.”

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
