South Coast Improvement, Co. completes work at Brookdale Cushing Park

Framingham, MA South Coast Improvement Company, a design-build general contractor serving New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, finished a renovation project at Brookdale Cushing Park. Located at 300 West Farm Rd., Brookdale Cushing Park is an independent and assisted living home, which also offers memory care services.

The Marion, MA-based South Coast Improvement completed work in two phases. The first took place in January 2020 and was completed in February 2020; the second restarting during the pandemic in July 2020 and finished in December 2020.

“You could say this was a tale of two projects–the first right before COVID and the second during the height of the pandemic,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement. “That we finished Phase 2 in a timely fashion is a testimony to, first, the faith Brookdale put in South Coast to continue on the project during the pandemic and, second, the skilled and dedicated professionals we employ. Kudos to all.”

The project featured the creation of a new front entrance, coupled with an open floor plan upon entry, with a stunning double height fireplace as a focal point. Two country kitchens received makeovers, including new millwork, new lighting fixtures, new backsplash, new flooring, new cabinets and new counters.

All common areas received an upgrade, with fresh paint, appliance updates and updated fixtures.
