Callahan knows that developing the next generation of skilled workers is important to everyone in the construction industry. Working in Somerville at Assembly Row – Block 6 has provided Callahan with the unique opportunity to create a program for local young adults at Somerville High School’s Center for Technical Education (CTE) to participate in the process of building a new neighborhood in their own
community.

Callahan project staff worked with the High School’s CTE Leadership to create a program that helps to develop real life skills through coaching. While the program is still young, the Callahan project team at Block 6 is excited to be able to help local kids see how a high rise building gets put together. They’ve already had one very successful day mentoring about a dozen tradesmen showing them the details about how deep foundations are built. “We hope to have several similar training days for students once the project gets closed in and safe areas can be made available for job shadowing later in 2016″, said Dave Morrow, Project Executive at Callahan Construction Managers.”The students and the staff are excited and committed to taking this program to the next level”.

Mayor Gary Christenson recently attended an official ribbon cutting celebrating the completion of the residences at “480 Main at Malden Square.” The development includes 195 market rate apartments with on-site parking. Currently, the building is 78 percent occupied.

The resident lounge is warm and inviting with a fireplace and a billiards table. There is also ground floor retail space available for lease.

“Malden is a great example of a city that is on the rise, remaking itself into a coveted, unique location with a presence and life independent of Boston for its residents but still readily accessible to all parts of the greater Boston area,” said Chris Todd, head of real estate development, Priderock Capital Partners. “Malden has quite rightly understood that top quality new apartment buildings like 480 Main increase property tax revenues to the City and require very little expensive services such as school capacity in return. 480 Main is a catalytic development; it’s top quality construction, distinctive architecture and most importantly its new residents will spur re-development and rehabilitation of our neighborhood.”

As the newest apartment building in Malden Square, the façade is complimentary to the surrounding historic properties which include the First Baptist Church, Malden Public Library, One Salem Street and the Oddfellows Building.
