Lambert Woods FAQs 165 Lambert is one of three parcels chosen by the City of Portland, Maine in 2019 to be redeveloped as middle income housing. The parcel in Portland’s North Deering Neighborhood is about 14 acres of wooded land, of which about half is wetlands. The site is on a quiet stretch of road between two busy arterial roads, and is adjacent to residential areas and light industrial uses. It is about a quarter mile from the Falmouth Spur highway, ¾ of mile from a shopping area, and at terminus of the #9 metro bus line, which provides frequent service to all the middle and high schools, services, and downtown area. Maine Cooperative Development Partners were chosen to develop the property in 2020 and the project is expected to be completed in 2024.

Project Update: We are in the process to get a zoning amendment to make vision for a walkable, neighborhood center that provides quality housing and preserves surrounding forest a reality. After the zoning amendment, we'll begin the design process and planning board process for the development.
Upcoming Meetings: Check back for future meetings as they are scheduled. We look forward to you joining us!
