Avesta Housing and Reveler Development have broken ground on a 201-unit affordable housing complex on the corner of Elm and Oxford Streets in Portland.
Units in the complex will be made available to people earning no more than 60% of the area median income — which is $90,860, meaning the apartments will be open to residents with a maximum individual income of $54,516.
The complex will fill an entire block between Lancaster and Oxford streets and will include 39 studios, 141 one-bedroom apartments and 21 two-bedroom apartments. All will have energy efficient appliances.
