Real Estate Development

In 2022, we completed three projects in Berlin, Barre, and Wells River.

 

The Welcome Center at Twin City

We redeveloped the existing motel office and units, as well as the single-family house on site to serve as a hub for those seeking housing services. The six cottages were replaced with a brand-new nine-unit building. The first level of the house was converted to a welcome center and provides space for supportive services and administrative offices for Good Samaritan Haven, while the second level of the house offers additional shelter units. Overall, the project includes 46 new shelter beds.

Wells River

Our Wells River property, co-owned with Evernorth, is made up of 29 residential apartments and 8 commercial spaces across 3 residential buildings and 2 residential-commercial buildings. The property was in need of renovations to improve weatherization, energy efficiency, and life safety features.

 

Foundation House

We partnered with Vermont Foundation of Recovery (VFOR) to create a recovery residence in Central Vermont for women with children: Foundation House. The original building, built in the early 1900s, was re-configured to create two individual apartments on the first floor and one multi-floor communal living apartment that can house up to four families of varying sizes. The scope of the project also included historic restoration, weatherization, and energy efficiency upgrades.
