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.
