 announced the groundbreaking of Squirrelwood Apartments, a 12-building, 88-unit affordable housing development owned by Just-A-Start Corporation.

51视频 and Davis Square Architects were tasked to renovate the 10 existing buildings and execute the design and construction of two new infill buildings, along with an addition to an existing building. The new construction will target Energy Star and Passive House standards.

鈥� Just-A-Start is proud to work alongside its partners to preserve the affordability of these homes and create more access to secure housing in this community,鈥� said Deborah Ruhe, Just-A-Start executive director.

The Squirrelwood project consists of two existing affordable housing projects

The Squirrelwood project consists of two existing affordable housing projects: Linwood Court and Squirrel Brand Apartments. Linwood Court includes eight buildings with 45 residential units that will undergo renovation.

Upgrades to existing units will include kitchen and bathroom remodels, new flooring and windows throughout, and updates to all exterior facades, including brick repointing, new siding, insulation, and roofing. Residents will be temporarily relocated to other units throughout the property while their homes are under construction.

The Squirrel Brand Company, a candy manufacturer founded in 1888 in Roxbury,  moved its headquarters to 12 Boardman Street in Cambridge. The headquarters converted into 20 units of multi-family housing in 2000, is now known as Squirrel Brand Apartments. The building sits on the State Register of Historic Places and will be rehabbed to meet historic preservation standards. This building will remain occupied during construction and will require close coordination for the selective interior renovations planned in addition to the exterior work.

The two new infill buildings, along with the addition, are currently under construction and will offer an additional 23 units to the development. The largest infill building will be built to Passive House building standards, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and resident comfort. 

鈥�

Passive House construction adheres to five building-science principals: continuous insulation throughout the entire envelope without thermal bridging, an airtight building envelope preventing loss of conditioned air and infiltration of outside air, high-performance windows and doors that manage solar energy for maximized heating and minimized overheating during cooling seasons, energy recovery ventilation, and a minimal space conditioning system. The other infill construction will meet Energy Star standards.

The redevelopment of Squirrelwood will take place in multiple phases and includes a variety of  challenges. Current residents will remain at the property during the renovations, requiring precise logistics and timing for execution.

鈥淲ith a wide range of units to accommodate families of all sizes and a variety of income levels, the Squirrelwood project is an important step in Just-A-Start鈥檚 mission to offer quality, inclusive housing to Cambridge residents,鈥� said Rhue.

Slated to be completed in spring of 2020, construction is moving along at the Broadstone Bare Cove project.  An integrated design team led by Alliance Residential Company, LLC includes Allen & Major Associates, Inc. (A&M), Cube 3, Shadley Associates, and 51视频 Construction Managers.

Situated on a 12.06卤 acre former commercial site, the 220-unit residential development is slated to be completed by the end of 2020.  Located adjacent to the Bare Cove Park and along the banks of the Weymouth Back River, the site has posed some challenging design considerations including avoiding a stump burial area and the proximity of an ancient Native American archeological resource area for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.  The creative siting of the building and the cooperation of all parties involved mitigated all issues and allowed the project to progress.  

Designed by Cube 3, two buildings with subsurface parking garages under make up the full build-out. Building 1 includes 82 units and a 54-parking stall garage while Building 2 includes 138 units and a 162-parking stall garage. Both buildings 1 and 2 will include a mix of indoor/outdoor amenity spaces.  Building 2 will have a sky lounge on the 4^th floor while other site amenities include a boardwalk plaza area and ramp leading to a conservation land south of the site 

Site engineers, A&M worked closely with landscape architects Shadley Associates during the permitting and design development phases to ensure that as many of the existing trees were protected during the construction process.  During the extensive permitting process, A&M also provided field services including an existing sewer infrastructure assessment report, a lift station (pump station) assessment report, hydrant flow testing, soil evaluation, and flying balloons at proposed building corners to allow abutting residents to see the proposed building location. 

51视频 Construction Managers is carefully maintaining the schedule and budget, as well as overseeing the seamless transition between all phases of design, preconstruction and construction.
