havana-mac formed Sully mac and Alfonso collaborate Boston, mA - Sullivan and mclaughlin companies (Sully mac) and Alfonso Electrical Services announced their collaborative formation of havanamac construction llc.

The commitment, to recognize, advance and increase the contributions of minorities and women in commerce, education and business for which they have been historically excluded, is one adopted by the construction Industry in the commonwealth. By proactively including and encouraging the participation of minority and women professionals when establishing their project goals, towns, municipalities, privately held hospitals and educational facilities make bold and definitive statements of support.

The State Office of Minority and woman Business Assistance (SomwBA), describes certification as a “Marketing Tool”, designed to open doors to opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise have.

In the spring of 2007, Alfonso Electrical Services, a company started in 2005 as a small, sole proprietorship had been recently SOMWBA certified as a minority woman owned electrical contractor. At that time, their expertise lay in wiring single family homes and service call responses. They employed two electricians, and their 2006 sales yielded $150 thousand in gross revenue.

At the same time, Sullivan and mclaughlin companies (Sullymac),

New England’s largest union electrical contractor, had been awarded a contract to build the new Northeastern University dormitory and academic buildings in Roxbury. The contract came with a commitment that Northeastern University made to the community. A minimum of 30% of the project value would be awarded to minority contractors and all contractors would assure that they would comply accordingly with their field labor.

Sullymac, offered Alfonso Electrical Services, AES, a partnership, the two entities would work together to complete the project, and Sullymac would commit to the growth and development of Alfonso Electrical Services. over the next two years the two companies fostered and nurtured a solid relationship, working side-by-side on numerous public and private projects.

In September 2009, Sullivan and mclaughlin companies and Alfonso Electrical Services realized the potential of combining their resources and forming the first Joint Ventured Minority Woman owned Electrical contractor in the commonwealth – havana-mac construction, llc. This carefully constructed alliance is predicted to be a mutually beneficial business venture, reaching new levels in their relationship and extending further into the construction market by offering the same business opportunities to their affiliates.

US Senate chambers model created for Edward m. Kennedy Institute harry R. feldman and Existing conditions Surveys complete 3D Scan and 3D model Dorchester, mA - harry R. feldman, Inc. and Existing conditions Surveys, Inc., working under extremely limited access conditions and time restraints, recently completed a 3D laser scanning survey and

produced a 3D Revit Building Information model of the US Senate chamber for the Edward m. Kennedy Institute.

The two firms are again collaborating on the restoration of the massachusetts Senate chamber led by cBT Architects of Boston.

The Edward m.

Kennedy Institute is planning a memorial library to be built next to the JfK library in Dorchester. one of the exciting challenges of this project will be to build a precise replica of the US Senate chamber inside the new building. The first step the architect needed to take was to obtain an Existing conditions survey Building Information Modeling of the US Senate Chamber and then a BIm of the

Senate chamber for their design. Since the Senate was still in session and arranging access to the capitol is a large endeavor, all of the survey work needed to be completed in one, four-hour period between the hours of 6 - 10 p.m.

Existing conditions Surveys, Inc. was contacted by the project architect, Rafael Vinoly’s office to perform the measurements, 2D drawings and a 3D Revit model. They teamed up with the 3D division of harry R. feldman, Inc. (feldman3D) to perform the 3D laser scanning for the critical dimensions and 3D visual-

ization of the chamber.

The team from Existing conditions Surveys, Inc. collected all of the field data in a very short period of time – only four hours between sessions of the US Senate.

This project also required advance planning and scheduling due to stringent security requirements and a heightened sensitivity to the building occupants. Another challenge was they were required to produce the highly detailed 3D Revit 2009 model in only 14 days after the field work – without Continued on page 11

ground Broken at wind Blade Test ctr Boston, mA - federal and state officials recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a wind Technology Testing center that will become the nation’s first facility capable of testing blades up to 90 meters long that are integral to the future development of wind energy.

The new center, operated in partnership with the National Renewable Energy laboratory, will test commercial-sized wind turbine blades to increase reliability, reduce cost, improve technical advancements and speed deployment of the next generation of wind turbine blades into the marketplace.

The Center will be the first commer-

cial large blade test facility in the nation to allow testing of blades longer than 50 meters, which currently can be done in Europe but not in the United States – putting American manufacturers at a disadvantage.

The wind Technology Testing center will be equipped to assess turbine blades up to 90 meters long – nearly the length of a football field.

The location of the testing center at the Boston Autoport in Boston harbor provides an optimal site, featuring proximity to substantial offshore wind resources, truck access, a rail spur and a 1200-footlong dock for transporting blades from ocean-going vessels.

Dpm gets Senior center project Newton, MA - Diversified Project management, Inc. (Dpm) has been retained by the city of holyoke to manage the design and construction of a new senior center. holyoke has housed the center in the basement of the war memorial Building since the mid 1960s. The current facility, which lacks windows, temperature control and modern amenities, has been described as “depressing” by some seniors. They are seeking a modernized center that can accommodate organized activities and programs dedicated to health and wellness.

A needs assessment survey was con-

ducted by the University of connecticut’s Agency on Aging, and members of the friends of the holyoke council on Aging toured senior centers in several neighboring cities and towns in order to collect information in the requirements for the new center.

Dpm will provide full project management services including the management of site selection, budget, scope and schedule, the selection of consultants and the general contractor. frank Kennedy is leading the Dpm effort, serving as the project executive.

US Senate chambers model Continued from page 9 the chance of a return visit.

Existing conditions Surveys utilized a methodical measuring strategy, detailed drawing checklist and highly trained staff.

By using leica lasers, Autodesk Revit 2009 and the most advanced photomodeler software, they were able to take the precise field dimensioned data sets and create highly accurate 3D drawings of the space.

They were also able to detect any potential clashes between the field data and model before it was finalized, to avoid risks during the construction phase. All of this is what made it possible for the delivery of 2D drawings and 3D BIm of superior qual-

ity and accuracy.

The feldman3D team utilized both a leica Scan Station 2 and an hDS 6000. with millimeter survey accuracies, the team scanned the entire chamber, including all of the statues of the vice presidents one by one. collecting millions of points at a spacing as small as 1/8-inch, the team was able to then layer photos over the point cloud data to show a 3D, photo-realistic animation of the chamber that the architects could then use to look at positions of seats, colors of rugs and curtains and architectural details of the moldings. Also, this data was used to check critical dimensions of other details like the domed ceiling and certain patterns on the doors.

As a result of the survey work performed by the team, the locations and dimensions of major cracks in the building were shown to 1/4 inch accuracies to help the architect in the restoration of this Back Bay landmark.

High-Profile Monthly’s 2009Year in Review Editor’s Note: Construction users, building owners, developers, facilities managers, all must keep an eye to the future when planning a construction project.

Tufts completes five-Story Vertical Expansion High-Profile: Educational Facilities Development News

ARc Architect - Shawmut Design gc Boston, mA - Dedication ceremonies held recently at the Tufts University School of Dental medicine culminated an ambitious 22-month vertical expansion development in one of Boston’s most densely-populated neighborhoods.

University officials, city of Boston representatives and community leaders celebrated the grand opening of a five-story, 95,000sf vertical addition on top of the existing 10-story Tufts University School of Dental medicine building in Boston’s chinatown.

The original building, built in 1972, was designed to be a 16-story structure; however, the building plan was revised and only 10 floors were constructed at that time. The top five floors recently added include two new clinical patient floors, an expanded simulation laboratory, teaching facilities, a continuing education conference center and administrative offices.

ARc, a national architectural, planning and interior design firm, provided the design and programming services and served as the architect for the $68 million project at one Kneeland Street. The general contractor for the project was Shawmut Design and construction.

The expansion was designed to integrate contemporary forms and materials within the framework of the existing pre-cast concrete building.

while addressing the rigorous modular order of the original 1970s design, the new vertical addition uses a glass and aluminum curtain wall system and white metal panels to contrast the heavier forms of the existing concrete structure.

By integrating a new architectural vocabulary and extending it to the street level, the final design forms a prominent new main entry for the Dental School. The existing egress stair at the corner of the building has also been transformed into a glass The expansion’s transparent glass exterior façade probeacon that marks the vides significant day-lighting to save energy gateway to the Tufts health Sciences Boston campus. save energy and add to the sustainable The expansion’s transparent characteristics of the design. glass exterior façade not only results As part of Boston’s mandate for in a dramatic new image for the Densustainable design, the addition and tal School but also provides the added renovation were designed and built benefit of incorporating significant with the goal of LEED certification. day-lighting strategies for the building interior, all of which are designed to

furniture meets Architecture Salisbury, cT - Spec’s Design group, of Springfield, Mass. and The Aram Kaz Co., of Wethersfield, Conn. maintain that great architecture makes a building successful and great furniture makes a successful building perform. By marrying form and function, furniture defines the experience of any interior space.

The team recently completed the design, specification and procurement of furniture for the new athletic facility at the Salisbury School.

A hierarchy of furniture was established for the diverse activity zones, including a rinkside viewing room, a lounge and event space. flexibility, durability, aesthetics and pricing were essential criteria evaluated in the selection of each zone’s products. gary Kazanjian of The Aram Kaz co. said, “we sought the best quality furniture we could find within the client’s budget. Our job was to help select the best, then to provide all the service needed to get it there and keep it there – procurement, installation and maintenance.”

Beginning with a keen insight into the personality of the Salisbury School campus and an understanding of the range of needs to be served, Spec’s designed clusters of café tables and seating to provide a casual bistro experience, while the comfortable lounge chairs invite relaxation and a home-like feeling. Now Salisbury School’s logo graces mobile seating that can be reconfigured for any type of event.

Students, families and alumni are sure to feel welcomed and in tune with the Salisbury School campus culture in this beautiful space where the furniture will perform – along with the athletes – for years to come.

R.h. white completes YmcA Renovations

w

orcester, mA - The R.h. white construction company of Auburn has completed renovations and additions at two YmcA facilities in worcester. The YmcA of central massachusetts, in existence since 1854, is comprised of facilities in three locations: The central community Branch on main Street in worcester, The greendale family Branch on Shore Drive in worcester, and The Boroughs family Branch on Valente Drive in westborough. The central Branch facility, which also houses the administrative staff, was built in 1920 and remained the sole location until construction of the greendale facility in 1978.

Both branches enjoyed robust memberships but were limited in their ability to grow due to space constraints. In addition to this, the YmcA also realized that it needed to update its facilities in order to remain competitive. It created conceptual plans, established a budget, and began a capital campaign to raise money.

The Y chose construction management at Risk as its project delivery method and began an RfQ/Rfp process for both architects and construction managers. Because the needs of the two facilities were distinct, it chose to treat each as a separate

YMCA Central entrance project during this process. During the proposal phase, R.h. white offered a discount if awarded both projects simultaneously by taking advantage of shared project management costs. R.h. white was selected as the cm for both projects. The architects chosen were Sheskey Architects of Quincy for the greendale Branch and Drummey, Rosane, Anderson (DRA) of Newton for thecentral Branch.

In each case the YmcA set the control budget for the guaranteed maximum price based upon its conceptual plans and the projected fundraising amounts. greendale was set at $3.2 million and central at $3.6 million. Both projects began in earnest with a review of the desired out-

comes against the control budgets.

The strength of the cm process is that all of the project stakeholders are involved early enough to significantly influence the project. Both teams set about an iterative process of value engineering, alternative design analysis, and scope reviews to bring the gmp under the control budget.

Another strength of the cm process is that construction can begin prior to the final design being completed. This proved particularly helpful at the greendale facility, where the major portion of the project involved construction of a 9,000sf addition for a new wellness center. At the completion of approximately 60% construction, the excavation and foundation work for this addition was started in order to avoid extra costs due to winter conditions.

The perimeter of the wellness center contains an indoor running track, a portion of which extends into the original facility.

In order to reduce the overall footprint, this portion is enclosed and suspended above a former racquetball court. In addition to the wellness center, renovations were made to the locker rooms, a new hot tub was constructed, and three exercise studios were built. The exercise studios were built in the location of the former wellness center and running track. Upgrades to the lobby and creation of a covered walkway made up the remainder of this project.

The central Branch also suffered from an outdated and crowded wellness center. Through design reviews with the Y, DRA, and R.h.white, it was determined that the best space for the wellness center was to expand into where the administra-

tive offices were. These offices would be moved to a former five-story school building that is connected to the YmcA facility.

This building had previously been used for child care and group activities such as a teen center. In order to meet the needs of the Y moving forward, the mechanical functions were completely updated, new interior finishes installed, and an additional elevator installed.

With the administrative offices relocated to their new space, work proceeded to convert the former location into a 7,400sf wellness center. In addition, locker rooms were upgraded, the lobby area was reconfigured and upgraded, and one of the existing gymnasiums was converted into exercise studios. one of the main issues facing the central Branch location was a lack of visibility from the street. The Y felt that increasing its presence was critical to attracting new members. To this end, a 50foot tall light tower was constructed at the front entrance, creating the “draw� from the street that makes it impossible for anyone to miss. As with the greendale project, parking space needed to be increased.

At central this required demolition of a 2,000sf building, sitework, utilities and repaving.

Both locations needed to continue to operate during construction, requiring extensive scheduling with the staff as well as temporary barriers and alternate walkways. membership increases have exceeded expectations at both locations, and many members have gone out of their way to compliment the YmcA and R.h. white on a job well done.

High-Profile: Educational Facilities Development News

Colantonio Completes College Hall Childs Bertram and Tseckares Architects Fitchburg, MA - Colantonio, Inc. of Holliston recently completed construction of a new 104-bed dormitory within the existing Mara Village dormitory complex located at Fitchburg State College. The newest and greenest building on campus, this new dormitory at Mara Village addresses a critical shortfall in the college’s inventory and serves to tie together the existing upper and lower villages.

Construction Manager Colantonio, Inc. teamed up with Childs Bertram and Tseckares Architects, Inc. (CBT Architects) of Boston on this design-build construction project. Their combined experience and success working on critical higher education projects throughout the commonwealth proved to be a key factor to ensure that this essential new dormitory for the college came in on time and within budget.

Named after the late Dr. Vincent Mara – the college’s longtime president – Mara Village was comprised of a series of seven student residences and one common building built in 1989. Mara Village’s newest residence hall building is a five-story 40,000sf building that features 43 student suites. Each suite is home to eight students and contains two bathrooms with a shared living space.

Encompassing a total design solution, the once disjointed Mara Village is now tied together, first by a grand stairway

that serves to connect the upper village with the lower village – a change in elevation of 40 feet, second with new walkways and improved lighting and third by the addition of a common space centrally located within the new residence hall. Each element serves to provide a cohesive and integrated look and feel to Mara Village.

The new residence hall at Mara Village is a LEED Certified Silver rated building.

It was designed to maximize energy savings and reduce overall water consumption on camp. The new central residence hall also features all energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment and allows students to monitor their energy use by room to determine how conservative they are. At the same time, carbon dioxide emissions were reduced and indoor air quality was improved with low VOC applications throughout.

In addition to low VOC materials, a combination of pre-consumer and postconsumer rated materials was used on this project. These included locally available

Bowdoin Receives ABC Award for Tufts University, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Agnes Varis Campus Center

B

oston, MA – Bowdoin Construction was recently recognized at Build Boston with an ABC Excellence in Construction Merit Award for the Tufts University, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Agnes Varis Campus Center. The two-phase project, designed

by Finegold Alexander + Associates, was completed in March of this year, and the awards ceremony took place at the Seaport Hotel in Boston in November.

Phase 1 of the Agnes Varis Campus Center required the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of a former Grafton State Hospital nurses’ housing facility. This historic 16,000sf four-story structure was built in 1913 and had been vacant and abandoned for the past 30 years. The project involved building envelope renovations including the replacement of all windows, repair of the slate roof, repair and repointing of all masonry and a new river stone terrace. Interior work included demolition, shoring and removal of all interior bearing walls, fitout of a new commercial kitchen and dining facilities, student lounges, faculty offices, a book store, fitness center, men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers, a four-stop elevator, handicapped lift, and all new MEP/FP systems and finishes.

Phase 2 required the addition of a new 7,200sf auditorium/lecture hall onto the recently opened campus center. The new two-story steel frame and masonry structure features a tiered-seating auditorium to accommodate 200 students and includes acoustical paneling and A/V systems. Upscale common areas include large reception corridors at both levels with floor to ceiling millwork and retroplated concrete flooring. The exterior features an entrance plaza with sitting wall, a two-story

Cutler Builds Griffin Land Facility

Tilt-Up Concrete Construction Creates Value-Driven, Flexible, and Efficient Building

by Robert Graham, AIA ire Rack, Inc., a national distributor of performance tires and related products, recently opened its new warehouse and distribution center in Windsor, Conn. Cutler Associates designed and built the 304,000sf facility for developer and owner Griffin Land.

The team was challenged to deliver the large-scale project within a tight timeframe. It was imperative for Tire Rack to be open and ready to ship going into the winter season. The $9 million project was delivered on a six-month construction schedule.

To successfully meet the project’s aggressive delivery schedule, the development team elected to use tilt-wall construction – a building method in which concrete panels are cast on-site, using the floor slab as a working platform. The panels are then tilted up with the help of a crane and held in place with temporary bracing until the roof is added. Erecting walls with tilt-up panels is faster than building walls using traditional construction techniques. The trades can begin work earlier, which allows greater overlapping of project phases.

“The tilt-wall construction process proved to take weeks off our typical con-

Continued from previous page struction schedule,” said Tim lescalleet, senior vice president of Griffin Land. “We utilized the most cost-effective and timeefficient building technologies to deliver the project on time.” while speed, durability, and quality are compelling reasons why owners are choosing tilt-up construction, value, reduced construction costs, and flexibility are added benefits that cannot be overlooked. lower raw material costs combined with smaller work crews and a shortened construction schedule translated into lower project costs for Griffin Land and Tire Rack. The facility was constructed for $28 per square foot, an extremely economical solution for companies looking to expand under today’s economic conditions.

The technology used provided an efficient and flexible design for the building. The load-bearing walls of tilt-up construction eliminate the need for perimeter

columns, creating more usable space. The floor is extremely level in this method of construction, an important attribute in many distribution and warehouse facilities. moreover, with site approvals in place to grow the facility to 450,000sf, the modular design of the tilt panels allows for efficient expansion.

Delivering value, speed and responsiveness, quality, durability, reduced construction costs, and ongoing cost savings in operating expenses, tilt-up construction is the best choice for a wide range of commercial construction projects. Using integrated project delivery methods cutler Associates offers a single-source approach to the design and construction of tilt-up concrete facilities. The team has worked together to deliver 58 tilt-up projects totaling nearly 12 million sf.

High-Profile Corporate Profile: LittleFoot Energy

can my organization Afford To go green?

A case of putting the cart Before the horse!

Somerville, mA - Although littlefoot Energy began as a solar energy developer, they soon discovered that they could provide the greatest value to customers by helping them navigate the options and complexity within the new energy landscape of renewable incentives policy, carbon credits and technology risk. Allowing technology to lead the discussion is a clear case of ready, fire, aim.

“The reality of the renewable energy landscape is that project economics rely extensively on a building owner’s ability to take advantage of available incentives. without incentives, economics are significantly jeopardized – game changing really. prioritizing which energy investments make the most sense is therefore significantly driven by the ability to monetize and benefit by available incentives. As a result, specializing in structuring energy improvement projects that help customers maximize lucrative incentives has become littlefoot’s core competency,” says Kevin poulsen, cEo of littlefoot Energy corporation In 2008, littlefoot expanded its offering, and now helps organizations prioritize, fund, implement and verify a broad range of energy improvement projects that save energy, increase the bottom line, and position for a strengthened competitive future. one of their earliest success stories was The longfellow clubs, a premier racquet and fitness facility in the Boston area. In 2007, littlefoot was tasked with creating a business case for implementing solar energy. But in what poulsen refers to as “eleventh hour jitters”, it turned out that agreement on the strength of the deal economics between the customer and the customer’s tax council was not fully established - ultimately delaying the process. “we often found that the dialogue would stall at the point when it became time to establish the value of the renewable energy incentives, and the impact those incentives have on the overall investment opportunity,” says poulsen.

But with challenge came the opportunity to streamline. The solar system put in place at The longfellow clubs replaces 50 percent of the annual fossil fuel to meet the facility’s energy demand for heating their pool, Jacuzzi, and showers, while reducing the unit cost of energy by 57%.

But learning from what works, as follow-on to the solar implementation, littlefoot signed the club chain to a norisk energy performance guarantee called the littlefoot Energy guaranteed Business case™, an approach that sets ups clear investment targets for projects up-front, and before any work starts. projects are sought that meet or exceed those targets, or there is no cost to the customer. projects can be funded through an energy savings program that pays for the improvements through the resulting energy savings, providing positive cash flow from day one, with no or little money out of pocket. littlefoot is able to guarantee its projected savings with a performance bond, resulting in a project that reliably delivers on customer investment

A LittleFoot Energy solar installation in Malden, MA targets.

Key to littlefoot’s approach is structuring projects that maximize lucrative renewable energy incentives by integrating renewables with traditional efficiency measures – creating hybrid systems that result in superior financial benefit and lower total cost of energy.

In 2008, littlefoot developed a business case for a university in cambridge. The resulting solution integrated solar with energy recovery from a nearby steam tunnel.

The cost savings were enormous: the energy recovery portion now provides 65% of the total energy contribution for one-third of the capital cost, providing improved capital recovery, and the solar system’s 25-year system life provides long-term cash flow benefits and energy expense predictability. The integrated system also benefits by sharing costs for controls, engineering, project management, and finance while also allowing application of renewable energy incentives to portions that would otherwise be considered part of the heat recovery system.

Other key benefits of the solution included a no-money up-front power purchase agreement (ppA) procurement that allows a non-profit to indirectly benefit from tax based incentives. This allowed an entity with nonprofit status to realize all the benefits of a solar project, i.e. predictable long term energy expense, co2 reduction, green bragging rights, improved operating profit and building asset value, while securing the option to purchase the system anytime at a 47% discount

AIANE cited three payette projects for chapter honors from a field of 271 entries. The projects include an honor Award for the mEDITEch - medical Information Technology computer Science Building in fall River, a merit Award for the Integrat-

ed Sciences Building at the University of mass., Amherst campus and a merit Award for the carl J. Shapiro Science center at Brandeis University in waltham.

The awards include: an honor Award for Design Excellence for the gary c. comer geochemistry Building at columbia University; an Award for Design Excellence for the physics, DmSE, Spectroscopy, and Infrastructure project at mIT; and a citation for Design for the Amherst college Earth Sciences Building.

hingham, mA - margulies perruzzi Architects received the 2009 Brick in Architecture Bronze Award in the commercial category for its design of the Blue cross Blue Shield of massachusetts (BCBSMA) South Shore office building in hingham. with this award, BcBSmA/ Hingham has won five awards to date. completed in June 2007, the new, four-story, 329,000sf office building includes a multi-purpose cafeteria space, conference/training center, major data center and child care facility. A five-level, 1,184-car parking structure is linked directly to the main lobby by an all-weather connection. currently accommodating 1,100 BcBSmA employees, The facility was designed to allow for future expansion with no additional infrastructure required. The facility is the region’s largest lEED Silver certified project. clay brick was selected for the exterior of the BcBSmA building in hingham for a variety of reasons. The building was designed to draw strong connections to, and exist in harmony with, its surrounding natural environment. BcBSmA also wanted the building aesthetics to reflect its values of solidity, a sense of permanence, and the wise use of capital.

Brick naturally invests the building with solidity and stability due to its inherent durability. Because clay brick is made of natural products, it allowed BcBSmA to express in the exterior wall the

connection between the building and the natural environment. clay brick also had the benefits of helping to mitigate the apparent scale of the building and provide low long-term maintenance.

“The use of clay brick for the exterior was a thoughtful choice consistent with the sustainable design, nature-inspired color theme, and functional goals of the project,” said Daniel p. perruzzi, Jr., AIA, lEED Ap, principal at margulies perruzzi Architects. “we are proud that BcBSmA’s hingham facility continues to be recognized for sustainability that safeguards the welfare of both its occupants and its surrounding environment.”

The project team for BcBSmA/ hingham consisted of Turner construction, construction manager; Souza True & partners, structural engineers; SEi companies, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineers; Brown Richardson & Rowe, landscape architects; BSc group, civil engineers; lisa Zidel lighting Design; and A.w. perry, developer. with this award, BcBSmA/hingham has won five awards to date.

The winning entries represent a wide range of project types, including offices, healthcare facilities, schools, laboratories, academic institutions and several notable public buildings from across New England. Twenty-four projects in total were cited in the categories of honor, merit and performance.

formed limited liability company affiliated with the Planning Office for Urban Affairs, and three units of ground floor commercial space.

The second component consists of 24 units of affordable workforce moderate-income rental housing units, with the opportunity for conversion of the rental units to homeownership units after the expiration of the five-year historic tax credit compliance period.
