The Maine Real Estate and Development Association at its May 16 conference in Portland will present awards to the top 10 real estate developments in Maine in 2017.

“The MEREDA board of directors has selected exemplary projects from across the state, completed in 2017, which not only embody MEREDA’s belief in responsible real estate development, but also exemplify best practices in the industry, contributing to excellent jobs and increased tax bases for our cities and towns,” said Paul Peck, MEREDA board president and real estate developer.

Each of the 10 projects was selected based upon criteria including environmental sustainability, economic impact, energy efficiency, social impact and job creation.

The recipients are:

• Anew Development’s 65 Munjoy Street in Portland

• Tedlum Associates’ Aura in Portland

• Portland Housing Authority and Avesta Housing’s Bayside Anchor in Portland

• RBDD Cliff House Acquisitions’ Cliff House Maine in Cape Neddick

• Augusta Housing Authority and Developers Collaborative’s Hodgkins School Apartments in Augusta

• The Szanton Co.’s Huse School Apartments in Bath

• Avesta Housing’s Huston Commons in Portland

• NewHeight Group’s Luminato in Portland

• Chinburg Properties’ Saco Mill 4 in Saco

• Zachau Construction for the Tyler Technologies expansion in Yarmouth.

An award celebration of each project’s developer, including their partners and collaborators, will take place at the MEREDA event on May 16, which is open to the public.
