Boston — Bald Hill Builders announced that the Betty Greene Apartments project in Boston received multiple honors at PhiusCon 2025, held Oct. 6-8 in Milwaukee. The project was recognized as the Best Overall Project, Affordable Housing at the Passive House conference, and received an Honorable Mention in the High-Rise Multifamily category.
Developed by Urban Edge Housing Corporation and designed by Utile, with New Ecology providing QA/QC oversight, the Betty Greene Apartments represent energy-efficient, community-focused housing in Boston. Bald Hill Builders served as the general contractor, working closely with Utile’s Certified Passive House Consultant Jeff Geisinger and New Ecology’s Mark Norton to bring the high-performance building to life. Bald Hill Builders’ in-house sustainability department played a key role in guiding the project’s high-performance approach, from early coordination to field implementation.
