Callahan Construction selected to oversee construction of 25 Garvey St. apartment community

Everett, MA Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan) has been selected to oversee construction of the 25 Garvey St. apartment community, a 125-unit affordable development that will create much-needed housing for families in the city’s Commercial Triangle Economic Development District (CTEDD). 

Callahan has built a portfolio of affordable housing communities across the Northeast, from Boston to Yonkers, NY. Its teams utilize comprehensive pre-construction services and self-perform trades to ensure these vital residential developments are built quickly and on-budget. Callahan will work closely with The Neighborhood Developers and Impact Residential Development to bring this six-story residential building to life. 

Features of this project include a podium-style 78-car at-grade parking garage, community rooms, an on-site management office, bike storage, package delivery area, and a courtyard that will incorporate a children’s play space, BBQ area, seating areas, and planters for growing vegetables. This is the first affordable family rental community in the city in over 50 years and will be located next to a proposed Silver Line Extension. 

A $34 million state bond and $22 million in low-income housing tax credits were pivotal in the project moving forward. Key partners include the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, MassDevelopment, Community Economic Development Assistance Corp. (CEDAC), the city of Everett, the North Suburban Consortium, MassHousing, Massachusetts Housing Partnership, First Citizens Bank, Eastern Bank, and the National Equity Fund (NEF). 

“We are proud of our track record building affordable communities that make it possible for residents across Massachusetts to find a safe, healthy place to call home,” said Steve Callahan, Jr., vice president - business development for Callahan Construction. “The team behind this project understands what it takes to create desirable living spaces that amplify the features and assets of a city like Everett, and we look forward to the lasting impact 25 Garvey St. will have on CTEDD residents and neighbors.”
