Callahan Construction begins fourth project with Benchmark

Hanover, MA Callahan Construction Managers has begun its fourth assisted living project with Benchmark Senior Living, a trusted provider of senior living services throughout the Northeast.

The new Benchmark community will be located on Washington St. There will be 97 senior living units, with 114 total beds, over 91,000 s/f. Featured amenities will include a library, full-service dining room, activity rooms, wellness rooms, salons, and outdoor courtyards.

In addition to this property, Callahan has also completed three properties for the company, Benchmark Senior Living at Split Rock in Shelton, Conn., Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn in Woburn, Mass., and Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree in Norwood, Mass.

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

“We are thrilled to be expanding our senior living offerings to the residents of the South Shore and beyond. Hanover is an ideal setting for the 64th Benchmark community and will possess the beautiful surroundings and leading-edge services our residents and their families have come to expect,” said Sarah Laffey, chief financial officer and senior vice president of Benchmark Senior Living. Benchmark of Hanover will be the company’s second South Shore community, along with Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings. “We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Callahan,” said Laffey.

Working in partnership with Udelsman Associates, construction on the assisted living property broke ground in January 2021 and is on track for an early Summer 2022 completion.
