CAMBRIDGE, MA – CTA Construction Managers recently completed the 36th of 36 phases of the Newtowne Court renovation project, which includes updates to eight buildings and 268 affordable housing units in Cambridge, Mass.

The multi-phased approach to the renovations was designed to allow as many units to remain occupied while work was underway; with the final phase completed the site will return to full occupancy.
