The law firm Skelton Taintor & Abbott plans a move from its downtown Lewiston headquarters to new digs a stone’s throw away. The firm’s limited liability company, 491 Lisbon Street Associates LLC, bought 491 Lisbon St. from Lisbon Street Leasing LLC for $1.1 million.
Josh Soley and Charlie Hippler of CORE, a commercial real estate firm in Portland, brokered the transaction.
Built in 2004, the building at 491 Lisbon St. encompasses 18,000 square feet of Class A office space on three stories and was vacant when it was sold. The property was marketed as being centrally located in Lewiston, with a first-floor entrance that includes a dedicated reception area and spacious floor plans with large privacy glass windows. There are 21 parking spaces.
The sale was several months in the making.
In 2024, CORE brokered the sale of 491 Lisbon St. to Lisbon Street Leasing LLC and then managed the lease listing. Skelton Taintor & Abbott approached CORE with an interest in leasing the space. As conversations progressed, the law firm decided to buy the building and transform it into a state-of-the-art office space.
