How dedicated are we to creating and supporting housing that people can afford?

Not only does every property developed over our 20⁠-⁠year history remain under affordable guidelines⁠—⁠we purposefully create communities that preserve their affordable status in perpetuity or to maximum legal extent.

Our team’s experience, extensive relationships with government and private-sector partners, and technical resources mean we consistently develop quality housing and create supportive services in our communities.

Our existing and in⁠-⁠development communities span urban and suburban markets in nine states in the New England, Mid⁠-⁠Atlantic, and Gulf regions.

Great communities

At Connolly, we consider it part of our mission to build (and redevelop) housing that residents and surrounding communities can be proud of—there’s no reason this can’t be done efficiently when it’s pursued as a core goal from the start.

The communities within our portfolio share the look and many amenities of their market-rate counterparts. We work alongside the greater community to create designs that complement the unique strengths of each site to meet local needs.

Our commitment to investing in our facilities, staff, and services that help residents flourish is well-proven. Our resident engagement teams transform housing opportunities in our communities through casework, service delivery, and programming, bringing together neighbors and creating productive relationships between residents and staff.

Great partners

At Connolly, we view development and preservation of affordable housing as an essential industry, and we know that the organizations we partner with share that perspective. These government entities and non-profits are great partners—and our mission is to be that, too, when we work alongside housing authorities, service organizations, and resident groups.

In fact, such public-private and profit-nonprofit partnerships are an excellent match to our resources of time, capital, and people because the entire organization at Connolly has been purpose-built to work this way. The team we have assembled creates thoughtful strategies to build physically and financially stronger developments that maximize benefits for residents, partners, and the greater community.

As an affiliate of the First Hartford Corporation, Conolly and Partners also has one of the country’s most experienced commercial development, construction, and property management firms standing behind us—with real estate roots going back more than 75 years and a history of innovations that add both efficiency and quality to our developments.
