Manchester, NH Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass. with offices in White Plains, NY, has been recognized with a Gold award from the Associated General Contractors of New Hampshire (AGC NH) as part of its annual “Achievements in Construction” campaign.

75 Canal St., a 250-unit residential development with retail space and a podium parking garage located in downtown, brings in a new era of high-end living, with an amenities package that places an emphasis on supporting work-from-home professionals. Callahan and developer Jones Street worked to integrate features that include two fireside lounge areas, a game room, and work pods. In addition, Callahan oversaw the demolition of several existing buildings on the 2.3-acre site before beginning construction.

While the awards committee evaluated each project based on its features and design, it placed greater emphasis on the team’s capabilities. Callahan maintained daily communication with various municipal stakeholders in Manchester, including the building, public works, fire, and water departments, and also facilitated regular site walks and meetings both on-site and in city offices to provide maximum transparency to all team members and constituents. 

“The team behind 75 Canal has certainly known from the start that high levels of collaboration were essential to the success of this project, and the willingness of municipal leaders, our design and development partners, and local subcontractors to achieve shared goals made it a home run,” said Steven Callahan Jr., vice president - business development for Callahan. “75 Canal is a project that will welcome residents, new and old, to downtown Manchester, and we are pleased to share this honor from AGC NH with the team.”
