THE CONGRESS COMPANIES CHOSEN FOR EXPANSION PROJECT IN VERMONT

PEABODY, MA – The Congress Companies is pleased to announce they have been selected by Cedar Hill Assisted Living and Memory Care of Windsor, VT to provide Construction Management for the facility’s $8 million addition and renovation project. Cedar Hill offers a continuum of care ranging from independent and assisted living to skilled nursing, rehabilitative and Alzheimer’s care, all on one campus.

“We are grateful for the confidence our client, The Village of Cedar Hill, Inc., has in our company and for selecting us as their Construction Manager for the Cedar Hill Assisted Living and Memory Care project,” said Congress CEO William Nicholson.

“We believe it is our extensive Assisted Living and HUD experience as well as our ability to provide true Value Engineering and cost control to Senior Living projects that were the differentiators in Congress being chosen for this project,” he added.

With groundbreaking scheduled for this summer, the 42,200 square foot addition will include 36 Assisted Living units, 43 beds, administration offices, an activity and fitness area, a living room, dining room and commercial kitchen. The renovation portion of the project will include relocation of a laundry room as well as conversion of a lounge area to a studio apartment unit.

Nicholson noted, “Cedar Hill has a strong track record of providing their residents with high quality care, comfort, security and peace of mind within their existing communities. This addition and renovation project will help them continue that tradition.”

This project will not only provide benefits to Cedar Hill but also to the entire Windsor, VT community. Congress’ ongoing commitment to utilizing local subcontractors will help to create construction jobs and will be a boost to the local economy.

“Red Capital Group, the HUD lender, and Mackenzie Architects, the project’s architectural firm, have tremendous experience and expertise in the Senior Living sector. We are excited about working with such a quality team on this project,” Nicholson added.
