5-story building eyed for El Rayo's Portland site

J.B. Brown & Sons is proposing to build a five-story apartment building with commercial space in Portland at the current site of El Rayo Taqueria’s downtown location.

The Portland Press Herald reported that the property owner’s plans for its site at the corner of York and High streets calls for replacing El Rayo’s building and an adjacent building with the five-story building, which would include 63 market-rate apartments and 17,000 square feet of commercial space, and an adjacent two-level parking garage. The Portland Planning Board is expected to take up the property owner’s proposal on Oct. 13 or Oct. 27.

Vincent Veroneau, CEO of J.B. Brown & Sons, said plans for the commercial space are currently up in the air, but added that “if El Rayo wants to be part of the project we’d love to have them.”
