Cambridge, MA – CTA Construction has been selected by the Cambridge Housing Authority as general contractor on a $44 million, phased-renovations of the eight-building Newtowne Court apartment complex on Washington Street in Cambridge.
“CTA Construction is pleased to again work with the Cambridge Housing Authority to undertake another large-scale, complicated project,” said Patrick Tompkins, principal at Waltham-based CTA.
The Newtowne Court renovation includes replacement of systems and interior upgrades to the eight-building, 268-unit development.
The project, designed by Baker/Wohl Architects of Boston, is expected to take 30 months to complete. Highlights of the renovation include:
– Upgrades to boiler plants, fire alarm, and sprinkler systems.
– Interior renovations including new wood flooring, heating units, bathroom finishes and fixtures, countertops, appliances, cabinet doors, windows, and drywall finishes and painting.
– Masonry restoration and repointing.
– Roofing replacement.
– Landscaping, improved site drainage, and replacement of paving and hardscape.
The Cambridge Housing Authority awarded CTA a $21.6 million contract last year to revitalize the 122-unit Putnam Garden Apartments. Previously, CTA renovated the Harry S. Truman Apartment Building for the Cambridge Housing Authority.
