New mixed-use project marks Cord Meyer’s expansion into Westchester County and the redevelopment of a highly visible White Plains property.

WHITE PLAINS, NY — June 30, 2026 — Cord Meyer Development (Forest Hills, NY) and Saber Real Estate North (Brewster and Briarcliff, NY) celebrated a major milestone on June 30 with a ceremonial groundbreaking for 70 Westchester Avenue, a mixed-use luxury residential development that will transform a prominent White Plains property into a vibrant residential destination.

Offering new housing and community amenities, the project will feature a 10-story residential building totaling approximately 331,691 square feet, including 203 apartment residences inclusive of affordable units, 9,600 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and an integrated 266-space parking structure.

“This groundbreaking at one of Westchester County’s most visible and accessible locations and entry to the City marks an exciting new chapter for Cord Meyer Development,” said Danielle Molaison, Vice President of Development at Cord Meyer Development. “While our roots are in Queens, our mission has always been to create exceptional housing options that enhance the communities they serve. We’re proud to bring that experience to White Plains and to begin construction on a project that we believe will make a lasting contribution to the city.”

Martin G. Berger, Co-Founder and Managing Member of Saber Real Estate North, said 70 Westchester Avenue reflects both the firm’s longstanding commitment to the City of White Plains  and the vision of the development team to continue to build a stronger City.

“This project encompasses years of planning, collaboration, and commitment,” said Berger. “White Plains is one of the region’s most desirable places to live and 70 Westchester Avenue has been carefully designed to meet the needs of current and future residents. We are proud to join Cord Meyer in bringing this exciting project to life and contributing to the city’s long-term growth and success.”

70 Westchester will combine thoughtfully designed residences with a variety of indoor and outdoor amenities, including co-working spaces, a swimming pool, rooftop gathering areas, fitness facilities, a dog-walking area and pet spa, and other features that support today’s evolving lifestyles. Strategically positioned along Westchester Avenue and directly across from The Westchester shopping center, the property is within walking distance of restaurants, retail destinations, parks, and neighborhood amenities while offering immediate access to Interstate 287, the region’s primary east-west transportation corridor.

The project also represents a significant environmental revitalization effort. The site, formerly occupied by the White Plains Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership, has been cleaned to residential standards with the help of New York State’s Brownfield Cleanup Program, which encourages the remediation and redevelopment of underutilized properties. Through the program, the development team is transforming a former automobile dealership site into a vibrant mixed-use community that will generate long-term economic and community benefits for White Plains.

Westchester Leaders Applaud the Vision

Local elected officials praised the project as an important investment in the future of Westchester County and White Plains.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “As Westchester County continues to grow, projects like 70 Westchester Avenue play an important role in shaping vibrant, connected communities. By expanding housing opportunities and supporting economic development, this investment further strengthens downtown White Plains and helps ensure our County remains a place where people choose to live, work, raise a family and invest in the future.”

“This project reflects the continued momentum we are seeing throughout White Plains,” said White Plains Mayor Justin Brasch. “70 Westchester Avenue will activate this important gateway into our city and also make important pedestrian safety improvements to the area. We are pleased to see construction take hold and look forward to welcoming this new development to White Plains.”

The project also received support from the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency (IDA), which approved economic development incentives to help advance the redevelopment of the former dealership property and support new housing and investment in White Plains.

Joan McDonald, Chairperson of the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency, said 70 Westchester Avenue reflects the type of project the agency seeks to encourage throughout the county.

“By redeveloping a long-underutilized site and creating new housing opportunities, 70 Westchester Avenue will deliver lasting benefits for White Plains and Westchester County,” said McDonald. “We are proud to have supported a project that will contribute to the community’s continued growth and vitality.”

For the 70 Westchester Avenue project, Cord Meyer Development and Saber Real Estate North assembled a distinguished team of design and construction professionals, including the project’s general contractor, Callahan Construction Managers. Callahan also serves as general contractor for the residences at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, Cord Meyer’s new residential development in Bayside, Queens, and brings extensive experience in large-scale residential and mixed-use developments throughout the Northeast.

“70 Westchester is one of the latest projects overseen by Callahan’s growing White Plains office, as well as one of our most recent collaborations with Cord Meyer Development,” said David Morrow, Vice President of New York Operations, Callahan Construction. “We’re very pleased to be working with Cord Meyer and Saber Real Estate North and to be building other projects in the City of White Plains.”

For more than 120 years, Cord Meyer Development has pursued projects that strengthen communities and create lasting value. 70 Westchester Avenue continues that tradition, combining new housing, environmental remediation, and strategic investment at one of Westchester County’s most prominent locations.

Construction is underway at 70 Westchester Avenue, with completion anticipated early 2028.

Callahan and Architect Maugel Destefano deliver the finished project a full month ahead of schedule

BRIDGEWATER, MA — June 29, 2026 — Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, announced today it has completed construction of the new Poet Hill Place in Worcester, Mass., a 210-unit, market-rate housing development for project owner SMC Management Corp. (SMC) in the Poet Hill neighborhood.

Located on a 5-acre site on Hemans Street, the project features five stories of residential living over a double-podium parking garage. The location of the project site presented challenges from the start of construction, including a dramatic slope that required Callahan’s team to oversee major sheeting and shoring operations featuring an almost 40-foot foundation wall. Design partner Maugel DeStefano Architects utilized the slope component to create a residential courtyard on top of the parking deck that is level with Hemans Street, showcasing the creativity necessary to make the natural features of the land work to the team’s advantage.

The C-shaped building features studio, 1-, and 2-bedroom apartment designs, and an amenity-rich environment reflecting the new standards in market-rate communities. A fully landscaped courtyard, grill stations, fire pit, bocce ball court, and rooftop deck are some of Poet Hill’s notable outdoor features. Inside, a cyber cafe, exercise/yoga spaces, and community room help foster a highly social atmosphere for residents. Callahan’s team worked tirelessly to meet occupancy goals despite challenges brought by winter conditions, including multiple days lost due to weather-related impacts. The team still completed the project a full month ahead of original estimates, ensuring SMC could begin attracting tenants as quickly as possible.

“The Poet Hill Residences transformed an underutilized site into a residential space that will help attract new residents to Worcester and provide a high-end experience to everyone who lives there,” said Bob Simonds, Director – Capital Projects, SMC Management Corp. “The success of this project weighed heavily on meeting critical opening dates to begin welcoming tenants, and the Callahan team went above and beyond to ensure we met these goals. We’re grateful for their partnership.”

“As architects, we approached the site’s significant grade change as a defining opportunity rather than a constraint,” said Mike Kunz, Principal, Maugel DeStefano Architects. “By placing the building atop the structured parking, we were able to create a residential courtyard at the podium level that connects directly to Hemans Street and activates the heart of the community. The resulting C-shaped configuration frames this shared outdoor space while supporting efficient residential layouts and a strong connection between building, landscape, and neighborhood context. Working closely with the Callahan and SMC teams, we were able to align design intent with construction execution and deliver a significant new residential community for the City of Worcester and its residents.”

Callahan’s team also drove a collaborative relationship with Worcester city officials to ensure that key zoning and safety requirements were met. Regular communication with these stakeholders ensured that the Poet Hill Residences could meet its aggressive occupancy goals, along with addressing concerns and feedback from nearby neighborhood residents.

145-unit transit-friendly development proceeding under the MBTA Communities Act

BRIDGEWATER, MA — June 16, 2026 — Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, announced today that it has broken ground at 259 Lenox Street in Norwood along with its project partners SV+Partners and Tremont Asset Management. The contemporary residential development will transform a former industrial site into a vibrant, transit-oriented community.

Today’s ceremony marks the start of what will become a five-story, 145-unit community permitted under the MBTA Communities Act, which encourages the development of new housing in areas served by public transit. The site is located directly adjacent to the MBTA Norwood Central Commuter Rail Station and is close to numerous neighboring amenities, including Norwood Plaza and the Norwood Town Square. The site’s location offers direct access to Boston’s South Station, Foxborough, and other regional destinations via Commuter Rail.

The development will feature a double-height great room, expansive amenity spaces including a golf simulator, dedicated co-working spaces, and gaming areas, as well as a south-facing courtyard with a pool. The project is being built to PHIUS Passive House standards with modern building systems, efficient structural design, and high-quality exterior materials suited for durability and long-term performance.

“For nearly a century, our family has invested in projects built to last and grow responsibly,” said Sam Slater, Managing Partner, Tremont Asset Management. “259 Lenox reflects that philosophy – a transit-oriented, Passive House community that adds needed housing supply while creating lasting value for Norwood and for our partners.”

The fundamentals behind the project are compelling: an underserved market, a transit-rich location, and an experienced development and construction team to bring the project to fruition. The region’s housing shortage gets solved one well-located project at a time, and by building 145 homes directly adjacent to commuter rail, 259 Lenox adds meaningful supply where it has the most impact – close to transit, jobs, and the heart of Norwood.

“259 Lenox Street represents a culmination of years of effort between private and public sector partners, community advocates, and statewide leadership,” said Jacob Vance, Co-Founder and Principal, SV+Partners. “Transforming a vacant parcel next to public transit into a new residential community is exactly the kind of site we seek to unlock – this project will have a meaningful impact on the community and create a desirable place for our future residents to call home. We’re grateful to Norwood’s leadership, our committed partners at Tremont and Callahan, and the EMBARC design team for achieving this milestone.”

Amenity-rich property will bring more than 250 rental units to market

PORTLAND, ME – March 12, 2026 –  Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, announced today that it has been selected to manage construction of the new Thompson’s Point apartment community in Portland, Maine, in partnership with the project’s developer, Cathartes. The six-story, 457,600 square foot building will add 257 residential rental units to the Libbytown neighborhood near the Fore River.

The building structure will utilize a steel-framed podium on the first floor supporting five stories of wood-frame construction extending from the second-floor slab through the roof. Building features include a fitness center, yoga room, café, game lounge, swimming pool, and outdoor spaces with views of the Fore River and Portland Jetport. A 460-spot parking garage will also be built for both residents and visitors to Thompson’s Point alike and will act as a buffer from the nearby rail system.

“We’re pleased to partner with Callahan to bring this thoughtfully designed community to life and contribute to the continued evolution of Thompson’s Point while helping meet Portland’s growing demand for housing,” said Rob Simmons, Director of Development, Cathartes.

This project is Callahan’s first in the Portland, ME market, marking its latest geographic expansion into northern New England. The company continues to secure new work in both New Hampshire and the Tri-State area, along with ongoing project activity throughout Massachusetts. Recognizing the importance of local history and respecting Maine’s abundant natural resources, Callahan looks forward to creating a space for residents and newcomers alike to call home.

“Thompson’s Point will introduce much-needed housing to Portland’s vibrant downtown community, offering the best of both worlds: proximity to entertainment and cultural attractions with easy access to outdoor recreation,” said Steven Callahan Jr., Vice President – Business Development for Callahan Construction. “Our company is excited to support Maine’s economy and work with our partner Cathartes on this feature-laden development that will complement the surrounding environment.”

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.

26-acre site will create over 300 apartment units across 17 buildings on former retail site

PORTSMOUTH, NH – December 4, 2025 –  Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, announced today that it has broken ground on Prescott Post, a significant residential development located in Portsmouth and featuring 17 standalone 3-story walk-up and 4-story elevator buildings. The project’s developers are Eastern Real Estate and The Kane Company, which have collectively overseen the development and management of millions of square feet of properties across the U.S. and within New England.

The 360-unit market rate project will span a 26-acre site on what was formerly the home of a long-vacant Christmas Tree Shops and Bed, Bath, and Beyond retail stores. Featuring a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, the community will boost Portsmouth’s housing stock while also preserving open space and introducing amenities that reflect the hybrid and flex-work lifestyles many young professionals have adopted.

Prescott Post will include over 2.7 acres of green space, which will be used to provide residents with access to a public dog park, multiple recreation areas with grills and picnic tables, community walking paths, and greenways. A shared indoor residential amenity suite will be centrally located within the site on levels 1 and 2 of one of the community’s 4-story buildings, and social gathering spaces abound. A clubroom, resident game lounge, private work pods, and outdoor lounge spaces are among the numerous proposed amenities. In addition, an indoor/outdoor fitness facility will offer recreational activities for all skill levels and abilities.

“Portsmouth is one of New England’s most exciting cities, and Prescott Post will create opportunities for current and future residents to experience all that it has to offer,” said Steve Callahan, Jr., Vice President – Business Development for Callahan Construction. “We are particularly excited to be part of the team responsible for bringing it to life, and to work closely with city leadership and residents to build a project all can be proud of.”

Callahan recently completed the 75 Canal residential development in Manchester, which was recognized with a Build New Hampshire award from the AGC of NH. For more information on Callahan’s residential market expertise, click here.

Waverly Expands Portfolio With a Mixed-use Project Delivering Much Needed New, Local Housing and Retail

Framingham, MA – November 19, 2025 – Waverly Development, a full-service commercial real estate company focused on institutional-quality multifamily, mixed-use, and industrial properties, today announced the groundbreaking of a new, transit-oriented apartment community at 358 Waverly Street in downtown Framingham, approximately 500 feet from the Framingham Commuter Rail station.

The 181 home, urban infill project will transform a long-underutilized site into a vibrant residential community featuring nearly 3,000 square feet of retail, 21 affordable apartments, and 230 garage parking spaces. The development advances the City’s goals for smart growth, transit access, and downtown activation by delivering much-needed housing during a challenging market environment.

“At Waverly, we like to think of development as a team sport,” said Raymond Boghos, Principal, Waverly Development. “From day one, we’ve partnered closely with the City of Framingham, our neighbors, and our design and construction teams to deliver a thoughtful, responsive project that creates value for all stakeholders. This groundbreaking represents the start of a new chapter for downtown Framingham that offers more housing choices, easier access to transit, and inviting spaces that help people connect.”

The community will also feature a comprehensive amenity package consistent with a luxury apartment building, including a clubroom, fitness center with yoga studio, work from home offices, swimming pool, landscaped courtyard with fire pits and grilling stations, turf field for yard games, dog run, package and bike storage, private storage, EV charging, and more, designed to support modern lifestyles and foster community.

“The need for more smart, sensible, transit-oriented development is significant in Massachusetts, which is why the start of construction of the 358 Waverly Street project is so important for the Metrowest region,” said Patrick Callahan, President, Callahan Construction. “Waverly Development has shown that they understand the need to create multi-functional spaces that put underutilized properties to good use, and we are proud to be their construction partner on this community that will inject new life into downtown Framingham.”

Experienced Leadership at the Helm

Waverly was founded by their two principals: Julia Wynyard and Raymond Boghos. Wynyard has overseen the development of more than 3,250 apartment homes and $1.75 billion in multifamily, retail,

and commercial projects. Known for her focus on placemaking and community-building through design, Wynyard previously held senior roles at Samuels & Associates and AvalonBay Communities.

Her partner, Raymond Boghos, has spearheaded development and entitlement efforts for more than 2,000 apartments and 300,000 square feet of industrial assets, representing over $1 billion in investment. Boghos started his real estate career developing condos in South Boston while he was still in college. Today, he continues to bring that entrepreneurial spirit to Waverly, while also drawing from his experience as a developer with AvalonBay Communities, where he managed the full development lifecycle of multifamily projects across Massachusetts.

Together, Wynyard and Boghos bring more than 25 years of combined experience and a proven track record of creating institutional-quality housing and mixed-use communities. Their expertise in permitting, design, construction, and financing drives Waverly’s ability to move complex projects forward even in today’s challenging development environment.

Advancing the Future of Downtown Framingham

This project reflects three important themes in today’s real estate market: housing production at a time when getting projects financed and built is especially difficult; transformation of a key downtown site to create housing, retail, and new public-facing edges; and a commitment to transit-oriented, urban infill development that supports sustainable mobility and walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods.

“This groundbreaking represents a major step forward for the redevelopment of downtown Framingham and for housing in our city,” said Sarkis Sarkisian, Director of Planning & Community Development, City of Framingham. “The zoning that Town Meeting adopted in 2015, now aligned with the state’s MBTA Communities requirements, was designed to support exactly this kind of transit-oriented, mixed-use development. By bringing 181 new units, 11 percent of which are affordable and ground-floor retail to a long underutilized site near the Commuter Rail, Waverly Development is helping us meet a critical housing need while advancing our shared vision for a more connected, vibrant, and livable downtown for the people of Framingham.”

Founded in 2022 by Raymond Boghos and Julia Wynyard, Waverly’s principals bring more than 25 years of combined experience spanning $2B+ in investment and 4,000+ apartment homes.

Annual ABC awards recognize outstanding safety, quality, and client service

BRIDGEWATER, MA – October 22, 2025 –  Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, announced today that its project, Alexander Crossing in Yonkers, has been selected by ABC Empire State as a 2025 Construction Excellence Award winner. The project team was recently recognized at an awards gala in Cooperstown, New York.

This annual awards event recognizes the best construction projects that members of the ABC Empire State Chapter community have built, with an emphasis on those that have achieved impressively high marks for safety and quality. In addition, the awards also place a priority on demonstrated teamwork and high marks for client service, all of which are hallmarks of Callahan projects from Manchester to White Plains. The Alexander Crossing community features 440 units offered in studio-, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, with five levels of wood-frame over a two-level podium cast-in-place garage. The 7-story project was developed by Rose Associates, a premier multi-family real estate firm with multiple properties in the metro region.

Callahan worked together with the Rose team and the city of Yonkers to meet critical turnover dates and utilized a phased approach to begin marketing the available units as quickly as possible. In addition, Alexander Crossing was built during a time when supply chains were heavily impacted by global events, and Callahan worked closely with suppliers and subcontractors to ensure project milestones were adhered to and the client’s goals for occupancy were met. The project represents the latest success story in revitalizing Yonkers’ waterfront and creating development opportunities in concert with the Westchester RiverWalk public pathway.

“Building to high standards of quality and safety are part of every Callahan job, but so is exceeding client expectations,” said Steve Callahan, Jr., Vice President – Business Development for Callahan Construction. “Alexander Crossing is a testament to what’s possible when the contractor and client work hand-in-hand to address challenges and objectives for finishing the job the right way, and we’re pleased that ABC Empire State has recognized the entire team for their efforts.”
