A project approved last week by the Portland Planning Board will add sorely needed affordable family units to the city’s housing mix, officials said.

A luxury condominium in Portland’s historic West End that was the subject of a failed auction in 2019 is back on the market with the Boulos Co. through a call for offers.
The Williston West Condominiums, at 32 Thomas St., is a 18,336-square-foot former church with existing cash flow from five tenanted units.
The Gothic-style Williston West Church underwent a partial restoration and redevelopment that began in 2011 into five one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The property also includes a vacant residential shell in the parish house.
The property recently received an amendment to a conditional zoning agreement that allows for construction of up to six additional units.
