Event Description
Green Building Pro Tour - Portland's First PHIUS+ Affordable Multifamily Housing
Northeast Sustainable Energy Association
Friday, April 7, 1-5 pm, Portland, Maine
CEUs Pending: 2.5 AIA LU/HSW, 2.0 BPI, and certificates of participation are available
Join NESEA for a tour of Bayside Anchor, a recently-completed 45 unit apartment building in downtown Portland, ME. The building is a joint venture of the Portland Housing Authority and Avesta Housing, designed by Kaplan Thompson Architects and built by Wright-Ryan Construction. The project originated as the winning entry in “Lowering the Cost of Housing,” a 2013 national competition organized by Deutche Bank.
Attendees will learn the strategies that allowed the team to build Bayside Anchor to the very low cost of $142 per square foot, achieving the maximum affordability points under the State of Maine scoring system. The building was built to PHIUS+ certification standards and is the first new building commissioned by the Portland Housing Authority in over 40 years.
Project Overview
38,00 sq.ft.
45 units of affordable housing
Wood framed throughout, with cellulose wall insulation
50kW PV rooftop array installed on ballasted rack mounts
