Tavata

Scope of Work

Construction of a 7-story, 325-unit, mixed-use building, with 1,800-SF of ground-level retail space and 11 parking spaces. The project will be located along a priority corridor for the City that contains a variety of residential and non-residential uses including breweries, retail establishments, and restaurants. The development will result in 82 workforce housing units onsite. The 1.5 acre parcel located on Munjoy Hill was the long-time home to the Northern Burner Supply Co, a wholesale heating and electrical company. Prior to Northern Burner, the property was used as a trolley depot for a Portland-to-Yarmouth trolley, a Model T Ford dealership, and a horse-and-buggy taxi service. “We are pleased to be launching Tavata, likely Portland’s largest ever workforce housing development, to be built without any public subsidy. Redfern is proud of our commitment to the dense walkable housing that will support a sustainable future for Portland. We are appreciative of the City of Portland for its transparent regulatory process, and grateful for the patience of the seller while we battled various headwinds,” said Jonathan Culley of Redfern Properties. The project was made possible by Portland’s recent ReCode, a revamp of the City’s Land Use Ordinance.
