Erland to manage construction of Benchmark Senior Living Memory Care Community in Newton Centre

Newton Centre, MA Erland Construction was selected by Benchmark Senior Living to provide construction management services for its next Massachusetts memory care community to be located on the former campus of Andover Newton Theological Seminary.  

Erland will oversee construction of Benchmark’s 34,683 s/f memory care community as well as major renovation work to an existing 19,914 s/f, two-story building. The project totals 54,597 s/ft.

“Our mission is to elevate human connection, and it’s our passion to offer individualized care to ensure that our residents feel at home,” said Kris Yetman, Benchmark’s director of development. “We selected Erland because they understand how important it is to build communities complementing the compassionate and personalized care that Benchmark associates provide. Additionally, Erland is an expert when it comes to recommending and choosing materials that transform senior living residences into more than just a ‘facility.’ By blending our experience and knowledge, we’ll transform the Newton Centre community into a home of warmth and comfort for our valued residents.”

Designed by Bechtel Frank Erickson, the new community, specifically designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia-related memory loss, will offer 50 apartments with a capacity to serve 61 residents.

“We have a great understanding of what seniors and their families look for when choosing a senior living community,” said Eric Greene, vice president/residential group manager, who oversees Erland’s senior living team. “People want their loved ones to feel right at home, and we are looking forward to building a new community that will align with Benchmark’s mission.”
