Windover Construction recently announced the completion of two veterans supportive housing communities, with two additional projects on the drawing boards.
Locally, Windover completed the Pleasant Street Apartments in Downtown Beverly, MA. Located adjacent to the Beverly MBTA train station, the project transformed an existing historic industrial building into a residential community for veterans. The 4-story building underwent a complete renovation, incorporating “universal design” components for increased accessibility and numerous green building elements. The completed complex provides 32 permanent apartment residences, in addition to on-site counseling and job training. The community also offers a fitness center, computer room and other common area amenities.
Valley Brook Village, the second project, is located just outside of Morristown in Lyons, New Jersey. Approximately 45 miles west of New York City, the 61-unit housing complex consists of three buildings with both one – and two-bedroom apartments, situated around a common village green. In addition to residences, the complex has a community space and supportive services for residents including innovative work readiness, job training and employment programs, designed to help veterans re-enter the workforce.
“Our veterans give so much to serve and protect our country. But, sometimes that service comes at a cost,” said Windover President Lee Dellicker. “Veterans face unique challenges as they return to civilian life. It’s important that we honor their sacrifices by providing them with the help and resources they need. Windover is very proud to have been a part of both of these projects.”
