The Wyeth Cambridge was previously home to The Saint John School, an essential piece of North Cambridge life for over 100 years. After nearly a decade of neglect, Broder Properties LLC (Boston, MA), a local real estate developer, undertook a 2-year project to convert the properties into a beautifully landscaped 63-unit luxury residential campus.
The scope of Abbot's work included cleaning of the brick, repointing of the brick joints, and caulking the windows and doors after installation. Significantly, Abbot had new pre-cast stones fabricated to match the original stones in color and texture, and researched and located a new brick that matched the original brick.
The awards dinner was held on November 19, 2014 in the Granite Links Ballroom in Quincy, MA. WHDH television political reporter, Andy Hiller, emceed the event. Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges, each a leader in the Architect/Engineer/Contractor industry. Sixteen companies were honored in a variety of categories.
"These projects represent state-of-the-art in construction," said ABC Massachusetts president Greg Beeman. "The companies should be justifiably proud of their achievements. Work of this caliber is helping to raise the standards of excellence throughout the construction industry."
