Callahan Construction continues work
on two multifamily projects

The Atwood - Saugus, MA

Saugus, MA Residential and multifamily construction continues to be in high demand throughout the northeast, and Callahan Construction has been in the thick of it. Two new construction projects, Atwood by Toll Brothers in Saugus, and Gibson Point in Revere, are residential communities in prime locations that will not only create much-needed housing stock but also result in desirable living destinations for workers and families alike.

In Saugus, The Atwood project is a multifamily residential building totaling 320,000 s/f over five-stories. The building features wood frame construction, with a post-tensioned concrete core, and includes 300 units comprised of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. The interior consists of elaborate amenities including a fitness center, two-level rock climbing wall, yoga studio, library, chef’s kitchen, rooftop lounge and more. Designed by The Architectural Team, the project is located on 28 acres of undeveloped wooded land, and will also offer residents five garages, hardscapes, a pool, and other exterior amenities.

Gibson Point - Revere, MA

Callahan is also providing construction management services for Gibson Point in Revere, a residential property with an emphasis on personal wellness. This mixed-use complex features 291 residential apartments and was designed by Arrowstreet. The project incorporates two levels of steel podium construction integrating with five-stories of vertical wood framing. Wellness amenities including co-working pods and offices, multiple lounging areas, cold plunge pools, zen gardens, a sauna, fitness spaces, and retail space.

When it comes to large, multifamily projects, Callahan knows that meeting critical deadlines for occupancy while also minimizing the need for re-work are both of paramount importance. That’s why multiple developers and property owners have counted on the Callahan team time and again to get these complex, fast-paced projects out of the ground and enclosed as quickly as possible - with no impact to quality.

“At Callahan, we’re as comfortable building a life sciences lab as we are a multifamily development like these outstanding projects in Revere and Saugus,” said Steve Callahan, Jr., vice president - business development, Callahan. “When the Gibson Point and Atwood projects are complete, Massachusetts will benefit from having two world-class residential facilities that are certain to attract new residents from far and wide, and generate significant economic activity.”
