Brookline, MA – Colantonio, Inc. is deep into its $6 million renovation of the Trustman Apartments for the Brookline Housing Authority. Teamed up with architect Powers and Company of South Boston, the firm is updating the kitchen, heating and security system for 84 units – all while fully occupied.
Each unit is receiving new kitchen counters, cabinets, flooring and appliances. A forced hot water heating system will replace the electric baseboard system. The fire alarm system is also being pgraded.
Four units will become handicapped accessible, complete with ADA approved appliances, upgraded bathrooms and entrance ramps.
Since the work is done while residents are living in the units, it must be scheduled between 8:00 and 4:30, and each unit is left fully functioning at the end of each work day. The project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011.
