The Boulos Co. and Malone Commercial negotiate two downtown Portland leases

Portland, ME Zinn Wealth Management leased Suite A at 62 India St. The newly constructed 1,616 s/f space is on street level and features a conference room, private offices, open workspace, and more. Floor-to-ceiling windows complement the modern design and offer natural light.

The father-son team, Jack and Jack, are launching the venture together. Both formerly worked at Back Cove Financial. Noah Stebbins of The Boulos Company represented the Zinn’s and Peter Harrington of Malone Commercial Brokers represented the landlord, 62 India LLC.

Bubble Bliss has leased a 947 s/f storefront at 23 Temple St. Derek Miller of The Boulos Company represented the tea shop owners, while Joe and Luke Malone of Malone Commercial Brokers represented the landlord, 11 Temple MHR, LLC.

“My family, especially my two daughters, are avid bubble tea enthusiasts,” said owner Mamta Mohnot. “This inspired me to consider opening a bubble tea shop in the Old Port. Derek Miller showed us various locations, evaluated the pros and cons, and helped us select the perfect spot. He also guided us in making the best offer. The leafy boulevard with benches is ideal and fills the gap left by Bubble Maineia’s closure.”

Originating in Taiwan in the 1980s, bubble tea — a concoction of tea with chewy tapioca or flavorful popping balls — has taken the world by storm.

Bubble Bliss, which opened on June 4^th, offers 23 varieties of bubble tea including strawberry, brown sugar, taro, and vanilla chai, refreshers, flavored iced Red Bull drinks, and hot teas—all of which have received rave reviews. Notably, the teas at Bubble Bliss are made with real milk, not milk powders, ensuring a richer and creamier taste.
