Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree is a 73,000 s/f senior housing property comprised of 90 apartments, as well as a memory care unit that provides services for those with Alzheimer’s and other illnesses that impair memory. The senior living facility has 21 memory care units and 69 assisted living units. There are 35 studio units, 30 one-bedroom units and 25 two-bedroom units. The facility includes a commercial kitchen, library, day spa, dentist office, exercise room, arts/crafts room, beauty salon, bistro kitchen, dining areas, courtyard, pergola and landscaped grounds.

The completion of this property follows an ongoing partnership between Callahan and Benchmark.

“After working with many different general contractors, Callahan has proven to be among the elite. I would recommend them to any developers of senior or multifamily housing,” said Ken Littlefield director of development at Benchmark.

In addition to the recent completion of Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree, Callahan has also completed two additional properties for the company, Benchmark Senior Living at Split Rock in Shelton, Conn. and Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn in Woburn, Mass.

“We value our continued relationship with Benchmark Senior Living and are pleased to deliver three successful properties for the company,” said Patrick Callahan, President of Callahan Construction Managers. “It is especially fulfilling to be involved in such projects that serve to benefit members of the community and provide exceptional care.”

Working in partnership with JSA Architects, construction on the assisted living property began in August of 2015 and took 14 months to complete.
