A 45-unit condominium complex targeting middle-income, first-time homebuyers broke ground this week in Westbrook — adding to a growing neighborhood of new housing projects off Seavey Street.

The project, dubbed Clover Terraces, is slated for completion in late 2026. It marks the first project for Domus, a new development group based in Portland.

The dwellings are intended for middle-income, first-time homebuyers — people who earn between 80% and 120% of the area median income — too much to qualify for subsidized housing but too little to afford skyrocketing home prices.

“The teacher, the carpenter, the nurse, all these people who provide essential services to our society are being left behind,” Jack Soley, Domus co-founder and longtime Portland-area developer, said at the groundbreaking. “They can no longer afford to live where they work.”
