PORTLAND YMCA OPENS ITS DOORS
The ribbon-cutting at the Cumberland County YMCA Single
Resident apartments took place Thursday, January 19th in Portland.
Program representatives included Avesta Housing, rental managers,
Maine State Housing, project lenders, CWS Architects, and several YMCA
supporters and employees.
The
project began with demolition of an apartment building in March 2005
on High Street, a busy arterial through way in Portland. The site had
very limited lay-down space and was a challenging project because of
the tight budget. The new building is a four floor, block and plank
apartment building that will accommodate 32 residents at the rate of
$510 per month, utilities included. (The average rent for an
efficiency apartment in Portland is $700.)
The construction of the new apartments was designed by CWS Architects
and is part of more improvements happening at the Portland Y.
Currently, Wright-Ryan is finishing the new entry way to the
facilities.
