1920s School in Auburn Transformed into Affordable Housing for Seniors
Pennrose has completed the Mary D. Stone Apartments, a mixed-income community with 55 units for seniors 62 and older located at 10 Church Street in Auburn, MA. Eighty percent of the studio, one- and two-bedroom units are available for seniors at or below 60% of the area median income, starting at $29,550.
The redevelopment plan for the 1920s school building included the renovation of the historic school, demolition of later built additions and construction of a new addition.
NEI General Contracting blended historic finishes from the existing school into the new addition by reusing doors from the original school and recreating entry doors to match and meet accessibility requirements. The company exceeded the goal for MBE/WBE contractor and minority work force participation on this project by giving over 30% of contract dollars to MBE or WBE subcontractors, and over 45% of the labor hours were performed by workers of color.
