Yard South, a 30-acre mixed-use neighborhood, invites everyone to live, work, and play in South Portland’s Eastern Waterfront.
ACCESSIBLE. SUSTAINABLE. VIBRANT.
Yard South is a forward-thinking plan that includes equitable access to housing, supports a vibrant local economy, provides recreational space along the shoreline, anticipates climate change, and offers a multi-modal transportation hub.
Yard South is our response to South Portland’s Comprehensive Plan which asks the community to rethink the underutilized land on the Eastern Waterfront.
