Lowell, MA – Silver Street Development Corporation recently completed renovations on Jaycee Place, a 138-unit affordable housing community in Lowell that is home to a large percentage of lower-income senior citizens. Universal Window and Door provided approximately 220 replacement windows from their 900 Slider Series designed to improve energy efficiency for the building.
“The preservation of Jaycee Place guarantees the availability of affordable, healthy homes well into the future,” said Matthew Kesselhaut, Managing Principal at Silver Street Development, in a statement. “We are extremely pleased with the long-term plans we have put in place for Jaycee Place, benefiting not only the residents who call it home but also the Lowell community. It is truly remarkable to consider the number of people this property will assist over the coming decades as we strive to preserve this vital housing resource.”
Jaycee Place was originally developed in 1976 through the HUD Section 236 program. The 138 units are contained in a seven-story masonry building at 22 Bowers Street in Lowell. There are 123 one-bedroom apartments and 15 two-bedroom apartments.
The general contractor was Port Harbor Construction, Silver Street’s construction arm, and the architect was The Architectural Team. Long-time Universal Window partner Coulter Construction installed the windows.
