Hingham, MA Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan) has completed the expansion of the continuing-care neighborhood at Linden Ponds, an Erickson Senior Living-managed retirement community. This latest collaboration represents the fourth project Callahan has completed for Erickson Senior Living in Massachusetts.

The opening of the 59,000 s/f Granite Commons was celebrated with a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new space consists of a two-story assisted care building with 50 residences, consisting of studios, and one- and two-bedroom floor plans,?as well as a variety of amenity spaces including a games lounge, library, media room, restaurant, fitness area, and more.

Linden Ponds is an independent living neighborhood with more than 1,400 residents enjoying an active, engaged retirement lifestyle. The safety and wellbeing of those who live at Linden Ponds was of paramount importance. With a tight schedule impacted by a nine-week turnaround for delivery of roof trusses, identifying every possible time-savings opportunity was critical for success. From project launch to completion, Callahan worked closely with the architect and owner in pre-construction to develop drawings that would support fast-track work in an occupied environment.

A generational builder with deep experience in multi-family and senior housing, Callahan was well-positioned to build this latest phase of Linden Ponds. The company has overseen senior housing construction projects across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and on the Cape and Islands.

“Callahan is very proud of its reputation for building in the occupied and sensitive spaces of long-term care communities, and we’re particularly excited to celebrate our long-standing relationship with Erickson Senior Living with the construction of Granite Commons,” said Steve Callahan Jr., Vice President - Business Development for Callahan. “The need for accessible senior living communities that reflect the changing demographics of our society is essential, and experts in developing these environments like Erickson Senior Living are a perfect match for Callahan’s unique expertise.”
