Project Overview
Hardypond Construction partnered with Shalom House, Inc. to restore and renovate a three-story historic building in Portland’s West End into a safe, welcoming group living facility for adults living with mental illness. The project created spaces that balance the building’s historic character with the needs of its residents.

The renovation included restoring original details and finishes where possible, while updating the building to be safe, accessible, and functional. Improvements included shared kitchen and common spaces, life safety upgrades, ADA accessibility enhancements, and mechanical and electrical system updates.
