Bowman Constructors is excited to announce the completion of Blueberry Ridge Apartments, a transformative project in collaboration with the Bangor Housing Authority that addresses the pressing need for affordable senior housing in Bangor. Situated at 294 Davis Road, the newly constructed two-story complex features 32 affordable one-bedroom apartments for individuals aged 55 and older, marking a vital step in the region’s response to its growing housing crisis.

This $8.39 million development, finished in October 2023, is part of a broader initiative to expand affordable housing for Bangor’s senior population. With an estimated 132 affordable apartments planned across three phases, this project will help ease a housing market that has been stretched by a lengthy waitlist for senior apartments, which is currently six to seven years long. Blueberry Ridge is just the beginning of a comprehensive effort to ensure more seniors have access to secure, accessible, and affordable homes. This project also aligns with broader city goals to alleviate pressure on workforce housing by freeing up other homes for families and young adults.

In line with Bowman’s commitment to sustainability, Blueberry Ridge Apartments incorporates energy-efficient systems, renewable energy sources, and advanced insulation techniques, providing long-term energy savings and environmental benefits. This focus on green construction not only enhances resident comfort but also supports broader community sustainability efforts.

Blueberry Ridge Apartments exemplifies Bowman Constructors’ dedication to creating community-centered, affordable housing that enhances quality of life. By prioritizing sustainability and addressing urgent housing needs, Bowman continues to lead in the development of high-quality, accessible homes for those who need them most.
