Cambridge, MA (November 17, 2016) – CTA Construction Managers today announced that it recently has completed the 12th of 36 phases on the Newtowne Court renovation project, which includes updates to eight buildings and 268 affordable housing units in Cambridge, Mass.

CTA Construction and Baker/Wohl Associates, the architect and owner project manager on the site, started the $44 million Newtowne Court Project in 2015. The project consists of a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation to 268 affordable family units at Newtowne Court, which is owned by the Cambridge Housing Authority.

Improvements will also be made to the bathrooms and kitchens, including new finishes and fixtures, appliances, countertops, and cabinet doors.
