Ipswich, MA – Colantonio Inc. has announced the completion of a major renovation project at Agawam Village, a 94-unit affordable housing community serving families and seniors aged 62 and older.
The project was delivered in partnership with the Ipswich Housing Authority (IHA) and Harborlight Homes, with architectural design by SV Design.
Spanning seven two-story residential buildings—four with apartment-style layouts and three featuring townhomes—the modernization project significantly improved living conditions across the property. Interior upgrades included fully renovated kitchens and bathrooms outfitted with new cabinetry, appliances, flooring, and wall finishes. The team also installed new fire alarm systems, replaced select windows and siding, and completed full roofing replacements throughout the complex.
Colantonio’s work extended beyond the buildings to improve the overall resident experience. Outdoor enhancements included the addition of a new basketball court, upgraded benches, and expanded parking areas to accommodate both residents and visitors.
A key challenge was completing construction while portions of the complex remained occupied. Colantonio implemented a phased approach with careful logistical coordination to minimize disruptions for residents throughout the project.
George Willwerth, President of Colantonio Inc., praised the collaboration behind the project’s early completion. “The exceptional teamwork on this project was a major contributor to its success,” he said. “Our close collaboration with the IHA, Harborlight Homes, and SV Design enabled us to finish the work several weeks ahead of schedule.”
