Project of the Month: Callahan Construction Managers completes Anden - a new residential development located at Weymouth Landing

Weymouth, MA  According to Callahan Construction Managers, a full-service construction management company based in Bridgewater, Mass., its Anden project in Weymouth Landing is officially complete and has welcomed its first residents. As of April 1st, residents have begun enjoying the 87-unit development on the Weymouth-Braintree line. The 106,000 s/f building developed by WEYLEX LLC and designed by Cube3 includes a mix of studio, one-bed and two-bed units across five floors. Each unit has open floor plans, featuring spacious kitchens with luxury appliances. Residents have access to surface level parking with additional spaces underneath the podium. Four electric vehicle charging stations are available to residents as well. Callahan led construction on Anden, which broke ground in October 2020 and is one of the latest project completions within the Boston/New York portfolio.

 

 

The amenity spaces at Anden boast a state-of-the-art fitness center and an expansive sky lounge complete with sweeping views of the Weymouth Fore River. Additionally, there is an outdoor sky deck with grilling stations, fire pit, and plant feature wall. Rounding out the amenities are a bike room with storage and maintenance machines, conference rooms, sitting areas with fireplace, and reading nook.

 

 

“Callahan is excited to celebrate this milestone as Anden welcomes its first residents home,” said Patrick Callahan, president of Callahan. “Anden is a much-needed addition to the neighborhood, and our team is proud of the work we did to provide new, top-quality housing to Weymouth Landing. Even as our team faced unprecedented challenges with material procurement during the construction process, they were able to stay on schedule through proactive communication with subcontractors and internal organization to track materials.”

“I have owned this property since 1999 and have been trying to get it developed for over 20 years. It has been great seeing the design come to fruition. Additionally, the workmanship has been fantastic. It is a huge benefit to the town of Weymouth to redevelop this area and produce a project of this caliber. Leasing has been very positive as First Realty Management has expressed many residents have been pleased with the finishes of the units and amenity offerings,” said Nick Delegas, owner of WEYLEX, LLC.

“I am extremely proud of the project that Callahan was able to deliver. The final product showcases the incredible trade partners we worked with throughout the duration of this project who persevered through some of the toughest logistical challenges our industry has seen. It speaks volumes to the quality and character of the entire project team that we were able to complete and deliver a project that will enhance the City of Weymouth and the Landing area so that residents will be able to enjoy such a fantastic space,” said Sean Kennedy, project manager.
