Portland housing complex will move forward after judge sides with developer

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 30, 2026

Site work will begin this week on a Portland housing development that was the subject of a lawsuit from abutters after a judge affirmed the planning board’s decision to green light the project. A Superior Court ruling this month sided with the developer on nearly every claim, and lifted an administrative stay that had delayed construction of the 50-unit Belfort Landing development in the Riverton neighborhood.
