UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Congress Square Commons is an affordable housing project on the former site of Belfast Public Works located at 115 Congress Street in Belfast, Maine.

The project consists of forty-eight rental apartments in five new construction buildings. The buildings will be centered around a common green space with a natural playground that incorporates topography (e.g.
hills and tunnels), texture (e.g. a variety of surface materials such as grass, native plantings, wood chips, and a boardwalk), and natural materials (e.g. logs and tree stumps).

The units are townhouse style, with an exterior entrance and a private backyard with each building having a covered space on the side of the building for bike and/or stroller storage. A community room with a kitchenette and laundry room, and broadband infrastructure with capacity to support the provision of Telemonitoring and/or Telehealth services opens out into the common green space.

Congress Square Commons is located directly on an existing public bus route provided by Mid-Coast Public Transportation and a short distance from downtown Belfast, Pierce Elementary School and Jack’s Grocery.
