If it makes it through the planning and finance process, a new development of 48 affordable and market-rate rental apartments is expected to help fill the city of Belfast’s housing shortage.
Developers Collaborative of Portland has proposed the project on approximately 4.3 acres at 115 Congress St., in a zoning district that allows multifamily housing.
The site was formerly home to the city’s public works facility.
Environmental cleanup and demolition of the facility took place in 2020 in order to prepare the site for redevelopment. At that time, the mayor and City Council determined the highest and best use of this property was for workforce housing and entered discussions with Developers Collaborative, according to a post by the city on its Facebook page.
