Callahan Construction Managers celebrates topping off of The Basin at 200 Quannapowitt

Wakefield, MA Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), in partnership with Cabot, Cabot, & Forbes and Equity Residential, has celebrated the topping off of The Basin multifamily community at 200 Quannapowitt Pkwy. The property is now accepting applications and expects to welcome new residents in this summer.

Located alongside Lake Quannapowitt, The Basin will consist of 440 multifamily residential units, including 79 affordable units. The community incorporates a variety of attributes that reflect the natural landscape in a modern multifamily community, including a lakeside walking path, multiple roof decks, over 20,000 s/f of amenity space, and an expansive landscape program. 

The topping off celebrates a key milestone in the project’s rapid progress, which will meet a growing need for commuter-friendly residential communities in Massachusetts. Future residents will benefit from easy access to I-95/Route 128 and nearby employment nodes. 

Minimizing environmental impact is also a priority for the project team, and The Basin is being constructed with sustainable design principles in mind. The project is targeting LEED Gold Certification and will include 100% electric units, ample electric vehicle and bicycle parking, and native landscaping requiring minimal irrigation.

“We are pleased to mark this milestone at The Basin, which takes advantage of both the stunning landscape alongside 200 Quannapowitt Parkway as well as the convenient location in Wakefield to help residents enjoy a feature-laden and sustainable environment while being able to commute with ease,” said Steven Callahan Jr., vice president - business development for Callahan. “Cabot, Cabot, & Forbes and Equity Residential are proven developers of desirable residential communities, and we’re excited to see their vision for The Basin come to life.”
