Mark Grossman worked for Ahern Construction to represent the Community Development Corporation of Boston. He managed the project from day 1 of construction, supervised the site, and was the Clerk of the Works for the complete renovation of a 1920s industrial building into 31 condos that had 2 new additions on the east and south sides, an elevator parking garage, and two ground-floor commercial spaces. During this project, he earned his Construction Supervisor's License.

Upon starting the project, Mark acknowledged that the actual size of Phase 2 was larger than the architectural plans and needed a better overall layout. During Phase 1, he completely redesigned the interior for Phase 2 in AutoCAD, which was 15 units and six stories high. These changes included structural changes to incorporate a new roof deck that the owners wanted. The structural engineer and architect stamped these changes, which were immediately built under his supervision.

The original building was four stories high and had a six thousand square foot footprint.

The entire building was gutted, and a new structurally sound floor system was installed.

We added two top floors with duplex penthouses to create a six-story building.

Two side-by-side ground-up additions, six stores high, are attached to the existing building.

A common roof deck and headhouse span the entire building.
