The conversion of the a former elementary school, The Machon provides a mixed income senior multi-family residential community for 55+ residents.
Keith Construction worked with B’Nai B’Rith Housing to transform the original 1920 school building and replace an awkward mid-century addition with a new complimentary apartment wing. Altogether, The Machon now provides 38 apartments in a single 3-story building with various resident common areas including a Community Room, Screening/Library, Fitness, and Offices. This redevelopment serves as a prime example of sustainable adaptive re-use to transform an historically significant building within the existing neighborhood for long-term preservation.
