Erland starts eighth restoration/renovation project at Spear Street Capital’s 195,400 s/f Riverworks complex

Riverworks - Watertown, MA

Watertown, MA Erland has been working on multiple projects at Riverworks, a completely repositioned brick and beam complex with two interconnected, renovated mill buildings along the Charles River. 

Built in 1919 as a woolen mill, the 195,400 s/f, multistory structure is now a flexible work environment with functional office, lab space and amenities. The building’s original function is reflected in sheep themed decorative elements throughout the space.

Designed by CBT Architects, Erland worked with Spear Street Capital and Holm & Associates to complete multiple projects at Riverworks including a new lobby and corridors, mail distribution center, café and servery, fitness center, offices and site reconfigurations.

Owner’s representative on the Riverworks projects, Christina Holm of Holm & Assoc. said, “I have worked with Erland Construction on several challenging projects over many years, from sophisticated labs, to site work, to interior fit ups, and have always found their team to be top notch. Our Riverworks project was no exception. When challenges arose, their team communicated the issue, consequence and recommended solutions timely and accurately, which contributed greatly to another team/project success. Erland’s proven reliability and commitment to every project, big or small has

solidified them as our ‘go to’ contractor.”

Erland is returning to Riverworks this month to execute another 8,400 s/f high tech office build out. This is the eighth project Erland has done for landlord Spear Street Capital within the complex.
