The St. Regis Residences Goes Vertical

Boston – Cronin Development recently welcomed the tower crane to The St. Regis Residences, Boston (SRRB) at 150 Seaport Boulevard, marking a critical step in the building’s construction program and the start of vertical construction. The general contractor on the project is John Moriarty and Associates.

Throughout the first phase of construction, work was centered on the foundation, which is comprised of 10,500 cubic yards of reinforced concrete with load bearing walls and structural elements mounted on bedrock, more than 150 feet below grade.

The concrete slab for each floor is unique, slightly rotating in order to create the twisting facade. The reinforced concrete structure provides a higher level of protection from interior sound and vibrations. To support construction of the building’s unique cantilever, a diagonal steel beam is placed up to the five-story mark to support a hung column and, when the top floor is poured, the steel beam will be cut away leaving the hung column supported from above within the concrete infrastructure.

SRRB features a design from Elkus Manfredi Architects that mimics the curvilinear shape of a tall ship at sail. The tower’s 114 luxury condominiums will range from one-bedroom condominiums to penthouse homes, each with views of Boston Harbor.

Owners will have access to a swimming pool, spa, exercise room, library, sports simulator, grand lounge, wine vaults, media room and guest suites. The signature restaurant with outdoor terrace will provide in-residence private dining as well as cater to residents, guests and neighbors.

USM Breaks Ground on Passive House Project

Portland, ME – On May 20, the University of Southern Maine (USM) held a virtual groundbreaking for the $99.4 million Portland Campus Development Project, the second-largest Passive House building project in U.S. higher education.

When completed by June 2023, the Portland Campus Development Project will result in the addition of a three-story, 42,000sf Career & Student Success Center, the 580-bed Portland Commons Residence Hall and a one-acre Residential Quad that will become a natural campus gateway and active meeting place for the entire USM community.

The residence hall will help ensure educational access to USM students by providing them with attractive, affordable housing in a market where inventory is low and expensive. It will offer a mix of en-suite single-occupancy rooms, studio apartments, and larger apartments with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms to USM undergraduates, graduate students and Maine Law students.

The Career & Student Success Center is projected to be completed or substantially completed in Spring 2023 and will include student-service spaces devoted to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at USM.

50% less energy than a normal building built to code. The new Career & Student Success Center will be built to LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) standards and feature a large, rooftop solar photovoltaic array. Crosslaminated timber (CLT) will feature prominently in the construction of the center. Through planting native and drought-tolerant plants as well as a lowmaintenance lawn, it is also estimated to save 67% of irrigation water over a typical project. The two new buildings in this project represent major steps toward USM’s commitment to achieving carbon

Anchor Point Breaks Ground

Beverly, MA – Beverly-based nonprofit developer, Harborlight Community Partners, announced that Anchor Point, a community of 77 units of affordable family housing, will break ground in June.

Anchor Point will include two apartment buildings and a community building, along with many exterior elements such as playgrounds and walking paths. At the heart of Anchor Point will be a community building with myriad programming opportunities, making this a unique service-infused project. This housing initiative brings back the repeat team of Harborlight Community Partners (HCP), SV Design, and Groom Construction.

Located on five acres at the intersection of Tozer and Sohier Roads in Beverly, Anchor Point will provide the region affordable housing for low-earning families, while setting aside 20% of its housing for families who have suffered homelessness. It will be deeply affordable, supporting those earning 60% or less of area median income.

“This project is coming at a time when the need for high quality, service enriched, and affordable homes has never been more evident,” says Andrew DeFranza, executive director for Harborlight Community Partners. “Our region is a beautiful one that remains largely out of reach for people we depend on every day. Anchor Point is essential toward mitigating housing insecurity and equity in our region.”

The housing at Anchor Point will be built in two phases, 38 units and 39 units respectively, and consists of two- and three-bedroom apartments for families. The community building, named The Lighthouse Center (TLC), will be the heart of Anchor Point and will provide on-site childcare, after school programming, ESL and GED classes, a teaching kitchen, financial counseling, case management, and more. In addition to robust programming, it will include many exterior elements such as community gardens, half-court basketball, playgrounds, walking paths, and a playing field.

Local leadership and citizens of the city of Beverly adopted 40R zoning, which paved the way for the project. It is also made possible with strong local funding and a regional commitment to affordable housing between Beverly, Salem, and Peabody, though the Mayors’ Task Force on Homelessness.

“Communities that combine quality living with on-site skilled services are a focus for our company and something that we hope to develop more of in the future,” said David Groom, principal at Groom Construction. “We are proud to partner once again with Harborlight Community Partners and the SV Design team on such an impactful project for our community.“
