Callahan Breaks Ground on 108 Unit Brighton Development
Callahan Construction Managers has broken ground on the 5-story, 131,500 SF mixed-use building at 5 Washington Street in Brighton. The project is being developed by Washington Square Ventures (WSV) with Stantec serving as the architect and will feature 12,500 square feet of retail on the ground floor, and 108 residential apartments on floors two through five with 18 units being designated for affordable housing, and 127 retail parking spaces.
“Callahan is proud to be a part of this dynamic project,” said Patrick Callahan, President at Callahan Construction Managers. “This development will contribute to the growth of the Washington Square/Corey Hill neighborhood and give residents an urban living experience just minutes from downtown Boston.”
“My partner Matt Faris and I are pleased to see our permitting and design efforts come to fruition at 5 Washington”, said Justin Krebs, Co-Managing Partner at Washington Square Ventures. “We appreciate our collaboration with the community and BPDA to redevelop a long-blighted gas service station and vacant office building into a forward-thinking mixed-use development, including new apartments and a CVS, adding to the affordable housing stock while enhancing retail amenities for our tenants and the neighborhood.”
“Stantec is excited to see this project happen after several years of active community engagement and design review by the City of Boston,” said Mark Soltysiak, Senior Associate at Stantec. “The building will fit proudly into the neighborhood and will add a small pocket park for all residents and neighbors alike to enjoy.”
In addition to further activating a busy intersection in Brighton, the project will provide an improved streetscape and lighting, a new outdoor space with benches and landscape that is open to the community.
