On Monday, June 28th, there was a Groundbreaking Event at the Stevens Corner site at 75 Park Street in North Andover. The project involves the rehabilitation of a long-empty nursing home building into 42 affordable workforce housing units for workforce families. The development will include a mix of units: five one-bedroom, one bath; 32 two-bedroom, one bath; and five three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath apartments. Each unit will have a dishwasher, stove and refrigerator. Common laundry facilities, storage areas, and trash chutes will be available on each floor. In addition, the ground floor will include management offices, a community room, and a maintenance room. All of the units will be affordable to households at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), including three units for the disabled.
The development will consist of the substantial rehabilitation of the existing two- and three-story building, and the expansion of one wing on its third floor by 9,217 gross square feet. The scope of work includes interior 'gut' rehabilitation and construction of all new living units (wall partitions, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.), a new roof, and facade improvemenets to blend in with the mixed-residential neighborhood.
This project has been designed to meet Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver guidelines for the Green Home Building Rating System and Energy Star for Homes. HVAC units, lighting systems, and appliances are specified to be energy efficient and meet Energy Star guidelines. Other 'Green' features include: selection of native and drought-resistant plants for landscaping; preservation of trees wherever possible; utilization of low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) adhesives, paints, carpets, composite woods, etc.; reuse of ten percent of the building materials and products salvaged from the construction process; and implementation of a recycling program during the Stevens Corner development's operating phase. The property will be managed by Corcoran Management of Braintree. Please call Toby Kramer at NOAH at 617-418-8259 for more information.
For a limited time, eligible home buyers may be able to receive up to $20,000 in
additional downpayment assistance for their first home, made possible through a
partnership between the Boston Housing Authority and NOAH, and administered by NOAH (Neighborhood of Affordable Housing). For more information, please click here,
