Freeport, Maine (March 20, 2008) — Maine Governor John Baldacci, L.L. Bean President and CEO Chris McCormick, Developer Berenson Associates, Inc. and numerous other Freeport town representatives officially marked the start of construction of Freeport Village Station, Freeport’s newest retail development, at a groundbreaking ceremony this morning.

During the ceremony, at the historic Mallet Building, Berenson Associates announced three new tenants that have signed leases: Brooks Brothers, Nike Factory Store and L.L.Bean’s Freeport Outlet, which will move to Freeport Village Station from its current location across Main Street. Berenson kicked off its leasing program last fall with the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation entering into leases for four of its premier outlet stores – Calvin Klein, IZOD, Van Heusen and Geoffrey Beene.

“We are thrilled to partner with these nationally recognized retailers and are delighted with the enthusiastic response from both the newcomers and retailers that are returning to Freeport,” says Alfred Yebba, Berenson Associates Chief Operating Officer. “Several other leases are currently being negotiated and we anticipate being able to announce these soon.”
