Callahan Construction and Beacon Communities Begin Leefort Terrace Project

Callahan Construction Managers has broken ground on Leefort Terrace, a new affordable housing project in Salem. The development, featuring 124 units, is a collaboration with Beacon Communities. The project aims to address outdated infrastructure and flooding risks.

Key figures, including Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll and Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo, attended the groundbreaking. The new buildings, featuring all-electric systems and Passive House certification, are designed to be climate resilient. Units are intended for households earning up to 60% of the area median income.

Amenities will include a community room, fitness center, and EV charging stations. The project is expected to welcome residents by early 2026. Beacon Communities CEO Dara Kovel expressed gratitude to partners and residents.
