Maine-based nonprofit developer Avesta Housing has been building affordable multi-family homes for almost 50 years. With 100 properties, 2,700 apartments and two assisted-living facilities under their belt, more than 3,000 households remain on their waiting list for affordable housing.

In partnership with architect CWS Architects and general contractor Zachau Construction, Avesta is nearing completion on it’s latest project: Wessex Woods — a four-story, 40-unit affordable senior housing development in Portland, Maine’s Nason’s Corner neighborhood.
