Congress Square Commons consists of four two-story buildings and one twelve-unit building centered around a green space, totaling 48 affordable housing units designed to meet a range of community housing needs.
Situated on the former Belfast Public Works site, PGC collaborated with the design team to reduce the impact of unsuitable or contaminated soils by relocating and reusing viable materials on-site, resulting in savings of approximately $100K. With input from MaineHousing, the mechanical system was reengineered as an all-electric system to align with their sustainability goals. PGC’s proactive approach in managing site challenges and client priorities demonstrates its commitment to sustainable, cost-effective solutions that advance affordable housing in Maine.
