2017 - 2018PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Residence at Highland Glenn is a 102-unit affordable apartment community located in Westwood, MA, in Boston's southwestern suburbs. The property delivers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes serving low-to-moderate income families through Massachusetts affordable housing programs. The community features on-site management, common laundry facilities, community room and outdoor recreation areas. The Westwood location places residents within reach of I-95, Route 128 and commuter rail service to downtown Boston. The property contributes to the preserved affordable housing inventory in the desirable southwestern Boston suburban market.
OWNER’S PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A 102-unit, $7M occupied rehabilitation requires an OPM who can sequence construction around residents in place while coordinating MassHousing compliance and town of Westwood permitting. Matt structured and negotiated the AIA contracts, ran the RFP and bid leveling process, managed the monthly requisition cycle, coordinated LIHTC review, negotiated change orders from a position of knowledge, and held the GC and design team accountable to the schedule and quality standards ownership required. The result: 102 preserved affordable apartments delivered with extended building life and continued long-term affordability.
