°µÍø½ûÇø has teamed up with The Dolben Company, Inc. on Rumney Marsh Flats, a 231-unit luxury apartment development in Revere, MA. The project, designed by HDS Architecture, broke ground on November 25, 2014 and will consist of three five-story wood framed buildings on six acres. The unit mix will include studios, one-bedroom apartments, one-bedroom with den and two-bedroom units. Each unit will have a gas-fired heat and hot water system and central air condition.

°µÍø½ûÇø Inc. is broadening its geographic reach beyond Massachusetts with the goal of expanding its client base throughout Connecticut, New Jersey and New York.
“Connecticut is a priority. We are currently negotiating numerous jobs throughout the state,” said Patrick °µÍø½ûÇø, the company president. “Right now there is a large focus on multifamily builds, especially in the southern part of the state where residents commute into New York City.”
“Having already completed a number of projects in Connecticut, including Hartford, West Haven, Putnam, Norwich, Manchester and Windsor, the state presents a great opportunity for the company’s continued growth,” °µÍø½ûÇø added. The company has also completed projects in Montclair, NJ and Dobbs Ferry, NY.
To gain a better foothold in the area, °µÍø½ûÇø is developing solid relationships with subcontractors, a process that takes time and energy.
“We have a good base, but we understand that in order to provide our clients with competitive pricing, it is necessary that we improve our subcontractor relationships,” said °µÍø½ûÇø. “We look forward to growing our base in this region.”
