Wilbur's Woods, at 0 McKeen St. in Brunswick, will feature 21 three-bedroom homes available for sale and a multifamily residence, with 18 rental units.
The team that plans to redevelop Portland's Time & Temperature building received approval for a Brunswick housing complex.
GreenMars Real Estate — led by Nate Green and Chris Marshall — received Brunswick Planning Board approval for Wilbur's Woods, which will have 39 residences, all but one of which will fall under workforce housing or affordable housing guidelines, as designated by the Maine Housing Authority and the town.
Wilbur's Woods, at 0 McKeen St. on 4.87 acres, will feature 21 three-bedroom homes available for sale and an 18-unit multifamily residence, with rental units. (The actual street address has not yet been established; the project will be on the 100 block of McKeen, Marshall told Mainebiz.)
"Maine is experiencing a severe housing shortage. The town of Brunswick is addressing this boldly with programs that are attracting national attention," GreenMars said in a press release. "The project is well-considered, aesthetically beautiful and will provide much-needed housing for people who have been priced out of midcoast Maine."
Pocket development
The development team is calling it a pocket development, with a recreational area and shared amenities like grilling and picnic areas, as well as trails. An ADA-compliant, public walkways connect residents with each other and to undisturbed forested areas on and adjacent to the property.
"Pocket developments support the deep sense of community Mainers appreciate while offering homes that are within reach for working people. It’s no secret that many Mainers are quickly being priced out of the communities they grew up in. We grew up here too and live here now, and we’re dedicated to development that helps others do the same," said Green.
The Wilbur's Woods team will be led by Green and Marshall, working with Nelson Property Services, Bath Savings, Alexander Wiss of Keller Williams Realty and Shannon Richards, founder of Hay Runner.

Back in Portland
Last fall, GreenMars announced plans to take on the redevelopment of the Time & Temperature building, with apartments, retail and commercial space and a boutique hotel.
Two years ago, GreenMars launched an effort to redevelop two former dorms at the old Nasson College in Sanford.
