Phase 1 of Golden Pond Complete

Hopkinton, MA – The Congress Companies announced that construction work has commenced on Phase 1 of a two-phased renovation and addition project at Golden Pond, an assisted living residence located in Hopkinton.
Last fall, Congress was selected by its repeat client, Golden Pond Resident Care Corp. to provide construction management services for the renovation and addition.
The Congress Companies served as the builder for the existing 64,500sf Golden Pond facility, which was the first assisted living facility constructed under the HUD 232 Program in Massachusetts.
Phase 1 of the construction work began on August 1 at the Hopkinton facility, with completion scheduled for November 1, 2012. This phase’s construction is focused on the facility renovation, which will result in seven additional assisted living units in the existing building. All of renovations will be completed without disruption to the residents of Golden Pond.
The project was designed by Khalsa Design Inc. of Somerville. Major subcontractors involved include Wayne Griffin Electric, KG Jordan, Covenant Fire Protection, Upper Valley Drywall, and Tarr Demolition.
Upon the completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will commence, which will result in a new, three-story addition of 36,000sf consisting of 41 assisted living beds and 30 residential units. The assisted living units will feature high-end kitchens with granite countertops, generous living and bedroom spaces, and Golden Pond’s signature Concierge personalized service package. Additionally, the main mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and laundry plants will be renovated and engineered to meet the requirements of all new units and future expansions.
A future Phase 3 for the Golden Pond facility has been master planned and is projected to include approximately 64 assisted living beds housed in a 33,000sf building.
