Property Highlights

$2,980,000 total in leveraged funding split or prorated by subgrant amounts between SMPDC's FY07 RLF Grant & FY14 RLF Grant

Former Use: The Site is a portion of the St. Andre?s Church Complex and includes the Convent and Apartment Building, located at 41 and 39 Sullivan Street, respectively, in the City of Biddeford, Maine. The two buildings are located centrally in a block bounded by Sullivan Street, Water Street, High Street and Bacon Street. The approximately 6,800 square-foot, three-story convent was constructed in 1920. The building was used as a convent from the time of its construction until its vacancy in 2010; the convent is currently vacant. This building has a partial basement with a dirt/bedrock floor. The convent is heated via steam heat from a heating system located within the St. Andre?s Church. This heating system is a fuel-oil fired furnace located in the basement of the church. The approximately 7,400 square-foot, four story apartment building was constructed in 1925 as a parish school. In 1997, the school was redeveloping into affordable elderly apartments. There are currently 35 apartment units in the building. This building has been heated by natural-gas fired boilers since its redevelopment; prior to 1997, the building was heated by oil. At the time of our Site reconnaissance, no evidence of fuel oil tanks was observed. The building has a large paved parking area to the north, and grassy/landscaped areas to the north, east and west.
