Scope Of Work
Kaliber Construction, Inc. was contracted as the Owner’s Representative for Innova Services of Philadelphia, PA for The Mary Taylor House, in coordination with Pennrose Properties, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, and Harkins Builders. The newly constructed 61,340 square foot, 3½ story Mary Taylor House is a 60-unit affordable apartment building built to the LEED Gold standard and certified in June 2011.
The building includes a green roof that handles storm-water runoff, as required, and also serves to reduce summer cooling costs. The new Mary Taylor House is connected via pedestrian bridge to the existing Hickman senior community complex. The bridge integrates the two communities and serves as a conduit of services to residents of the new building.
