AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Economic diversity is critical to a community's vitality and sustainability. But with demand for in-town housing frequently outstripping supply, many of Maine's towns and cities need more affordable and mixed-income housing.

Our developers have a reputation for building award-winning affordable and mixed-income housing developments. Our projects take creative and innovative approaches to attain affordability: we pursue competitive state and federal funding sources, employ creative design that reduces infrastructure costs, and apply “smart growth” principles that put residents close to jobs to minimize transportation expenses and maximize economic opportunity.
