Our team is transforming the former St. Augustine’s Convent and Paraclete Center into 35 affordable senior apartments through a five-story interior renovation, exterior restoration, and new rear addition.

Flashback to 2015, when we transformed an existing warehouse in Norwood, Mass. into Castle Island Brewing Company’s first microbrewery and taproom.

We removed 3,000 SF of existing concrete and installed a reinforced floor system capable of supporting 12 stainless steel tanks, each weighing up to 28,000 lbs. when full. Our team also installed approximately 4,000 linear feet of electrical conduit and 3,500 linear feet of mechanical piping to support the specialized brewing equipment throughout the 12,000 SF space.

A couple of years later, Castle Island brought us back to expand its production area and add a new taproom, increasing brewing capacity to more than 40,000 barrels annually. 🍻

A new chapter is underway for a historic South Boston property!

We recently joined South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation, ICON Architecture, the Mayor’s Office of Housing, Age Strong, and City of Boston elected officials to celebrate the groundbreaking of McDevitt Senior Homes. The project will transform the former St. Augustine’s Convent into 35 income-restricted apartments for seniors, including 16 apartments for households earning at or below 30% of AMI. The ceremony featured remarks from Donna Brown, executive director of South Boston NDC, who highlighted the importance of preserving the property’s history while responding to today’s housing needs. We’re proud to be part of a project that preserves a piece of Southie lore while creating safe & affordable homes where seniors can age in place.

Working in occupied buildings, our team carried out façade restoration, masonry repairs, exterior wall insulation, interior painting, slate roof repairs, and the replacement of nearly 100 windows, along with specialized restoration work to retain the buildings’ historic character and improve energy efficiency.

After seven years at the Worcester Art Museum, our work is starting to wrap up. Our team worked hard to provide continuity of care as we transition out of the building, and this testimonial is a reflection of that effort. The best measure of our success is a happy client, so thank you Worcester Art Museum!

to our work at the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center (formerly Great Brook Valley Health Center) in Worcester!

In 1997, Kaplan provided preconstruction and construction management services for this 36,000 SF ambulatory care facility, delivering an award-winning project in a densely populated neighborhood while keeping the health center and surrounding community top of mind throughout construction. We were able to maintain harmony with local unions and open shop trades throughout the federally funded project, employing minority-owned businesses whenever possible, including EIFS, landscaping, security systems, and sitework.

The project earned an ABC Merit Award, the American Hospital Association's VISTA Award, and an AIA Honor Award. The success of the project led to a longstanding partnership with the health center, which continued to select Kaplan for additional work, including a 10,000 SF addition.

We're proud to look back on a project that helped expand access to quality healthcare in the Worcester area.
