Look at This Fine Work by CTA Construction on Putnam Gardens in Cambridge

Renovating an occupied apartment complex takes good scheduling and planning.  CTA Construction Co. Inc. recently finished the first of 10 phases on a $22 million renovation of the Putnam Garden apartment complex owned by the Cambridge Housing Authority.

Large-scale residential construction is a growing part of our portfolio.  CTA previously renovated the Harry S. Truman Apartment Building for the Cambridge Housing Authority.  In Allston, CTA is currently constructing a $20 million, five-story residential building.

The project included updating finishes and fixtures in the kitchens and bathrooms.

CTA crews also did a fine job with new electrical systems, fire sprinklers, insulation, baseboard heating, ceilings and soffits.

For some, it may be their first time planning a groundbreaking for a building project. To help them get started, we created this short video, "8 Steps to a Great Groundbreaking."
