Callahan Construction Managers

Callahan Construction has long considered the tri-state region as being a hotbed of opportunity for smart growth and development. While part of this is driven by a growing need for housing, it also reflects local leaders’ ability to identify underutilized parcels that can trigger additional economic development while creating much-needed housing stock.

As we close on 2025, it’s gratifying to reflect on how Callahan has played a role in bringing some of these developments to life. Some of our newest projects include an exciting mixed-use property in metro New York; a new high-rise in Westchester County; and other residential and commercial developments in the pipeline.  In addition, we are well underway on the construction of Willow at the Ridgeway, a much-needed affordable senior housing development that will replace an outdated low-income community that had exceeded its useful life.

Across all of these projects, a unifying theme stands out: local leaders’ ability to utilize smart growth strategies like form-based code and targeted incentives to attract outside development. Instead of simply building to build, city leaders from Yonkers to West Hartford are analyzing how to best address community needs while respecting the fabric of those cities and towns – and Callahan is excited to partner with both public and private organizations to transform blighted areas into desirable places to live and work.

Smart Policy Attracts National Developers

In addition to local leaders putting the proper fundamentals together to get projects out of the ground, we’re also encouraged by efforts at the federal level to spark development. Bringing interest rates down has certainly helped inject some much-needed confidence into the local real estate market, and we continue to see a steady pipeline of projects coming to fruition. Further, we’re encouraged by developments taking shape in project-ready areas like the Yonkers waterfront, downtown Stamford, CT, and Port Chester and New Rochelle.

It’s also important to consider where developers are coming from to pursue work in the tri-state region. Callahan is currently working with Anthony Properties of Dallas, TX on the Spark on Cedar development in Newington, CT, a market-rate residential community. Anthony has expanded eastwards in recent years, and the city of Newington presented an attractive opportunity to redevelop an underutilized site in an area ripe for rebirth. As a construction manager that is deeply ingrained in the communities we serve, we look forward to more opportunities to work with our partners at the city and state level across the tri-state area to help bring impactful projects to fruition. From making healthy, affordable housing accessible to all to propelling revenue-generating projects forward that create jobs and ongoing economic development opportunities, Callahan is proud to be the construction partner on these and other smart-growth developments.
