Brighton-based B’nai B’rith Housing formally broke ground last week on The Coolidge at Sudbury, an apartment complex for active seniors and older adults.

The new development at 189 Boston Post Road in Sudbury includes 64 apartment units in an elevator building with surface parking. The planned development will include amenities such as a meeting room, library, fitness center and outdoor patios on the east and west sides. A property management office will be located on site.

The development is financed through housing tax credits, state housing programs, the Town of Sudbury Housing Trust and the West Metro HOME Consortium. Bank of America/Merrill Lynch is the construction lender and investor limited partner.  The architect for the project is The Architectural Team of Chelsea. The general contractor is Keith Construction Inc. of Canton. 

"[This] will allow more local seniors to remain in their community by choosing to live at The Coolidge," Susan Gittelman, executive director of B’nai B’rith Housing, said in a statement. "All the pieces are in place, and once construction is complete, we look forward to an opening and the arrival of new residents in late summer 2014."
