On Friday, May 3rd, Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan) participated in a quarterly volunteer day at Rosie’s Place in Boston. 15 Callahan employees prepared and served meals to 90 women and children.

Founded in 1974, Rosie’s Place was the first women’s shelter in the United States. The organization provides meals, shelter and wide-ranging support from housing to education services. Rosie’s Place looks to maintain the dignity of women in the Boston area by providing a safe, nurturing environment that helps women find security and seek opportunity in their lives.

Rosie’s Place is one of the many organizations where Callahan volunteers both time and resources as part of their Constructing Communities program. Constructing Communities was designed to support the local communities where Callahan works, offering outreach through volunteerism, the hiring of local subcontractors and the purchase of local goods. Callahan’s corporate responsibility efforts are one of the reasons the company was named a “Top Work Place” by the Boston Globe in 2018. Callahan also supports the South Shore Habitat for Humanity with numerous build-days throughout the year.

“I always appreciate our days at Rosie’s Place, and the opportunity provided by Callahan to spend our time volunteering,” stated Brian Dolan, Assistant Project Manager at Callahan. “It’s one of the many ways we can give back to local communities where we work and live.”

Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan) announces that Joe Horrigan has joined the firm as Project Executive. Horrigan’s addition supports Callahan’s growth throughout the New England region.

He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Villanova University.

“My professional experience is almost exclusively in multi-family residential development, so Callahan was an easy choice for me to start the next chapter of my career,” stated Horrigan. “Joining Callahan provides me the opportunity to bring my expertise to a new team that already has a large footprint in the multi-family market but also offers the opportunity for involvement in projects in a variety of other sectors as well.”

Wakefield, MA – Callahan Construction Managers announced the completion of interior renovations at Harvard Mills in Wakefield.

The project involved a reimagination of the common areas in the west wing of the historic woolen mill, originally built in the early 1900s.

Developer Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC has owned the building since 1999 and hired Callahan to execute a renovation of the common areas, intending to feature the four-story atrium, exposed brick, and high ceilings throughout the building. The project consisted of modernizing the common areas, bathrooms, and exterior landscaping and design. Cube 3 served as the architect for the renovation.

Harvard Mills now offers tenants updated common areas and restrooms and a spacious lobby. The brick-and-beam history of the building provides an alternative workspace, different from many other office spaces in Wakefield. The unique design intends to attract creative, collaborative, and technology-based tenants to the building.

“We always appreciate the opportunity to bring new life to historic properties” stated Patrick Callahan, president of Callahan Inc. “As a local, family run business, we like to ensure that the spaces we create both reflect and maintain the traditions of the cities and towns where we build.”

“The Harvard Mills building has been a landmark for the Town of Wakefield for over a century, and Taurus wanted to preserve this history,” stated Peter Merrigan, CEO & Partner of Taurus. “Taurus and Callahan have a successful track record of restoring unique properties, so we knew they would be the right fit for the project.”

Harvard Mills is located two blocks from the Commuter Rail in downtown Wakefield, with a 20-minute commute to Boston’s North Station. Tenants at Harvard Mills include Persimmon Technologies Corporation, Riverside Wealth Management and the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.
