Occupied rehab, bringing color and life to outdated affordable housing.

Mandela Homes is located in the newly revitalized South End district of Boston MA.  The complex consists of ten buildings situated at two different locations, offering newly renovated one to four-bedroom apartments.  Over the course of 17 months, Keith Construction worked collaboratively with the developer and tenant association leadership to renovate their beloved community. The renovations consisted of new kitchen and bathroom finishes, carpet, and paint. Infrastructure repairs included masonry restoration, roofing, windows, mechanical equipment, and fire alarms. Community rooms, the computer learning center, playgrounds, courtyards, and fitness area were also renovated.
