COMMERCIAL PORTFOLIO

Shires Housing – Bennington, VT

Shires Housing was a 3 phased project that included complete interior renovations to 28 units, on 6 scattered sites. Naylor & Breen worked with the Owners' relocation schedule. This included hard deadline dates for re-occupying each building, which Naylor & Breen met each and every time. N&B was in charge of coordinating the Owners lead/asbestos contractors, along with following RRP rules during selective demo and construction at each building. As stated before, these buildings included complete renovations on the interiors, such as finish- es, kitchens, fixtures and new electrical/mechanical upgrades. The exterior of the School Street building was completely re- moved and replaced with a new and much improved thermal envelope system, along with structural upgrades to the foundation and first floor. Pleasant St. had all of its historic windows replaced in kind, along with a new pellet boiler and thermal upgrades added to the building. The 4 buildings on Carrigan Lane and Safford Street not only received structural/finish up- grades, but a new landscaping plan was incorporated to include picnic areas, sidewalks, UG electric services, parking and plantings to improve the sense of community amongst the ten- ants. The total construction duration for the six buildings was 8 months.
