About Coler & Colantonio, Inc.
Coler & Colantonio, Inc. provides the professional services that get initial approval for a development. They are the engineers, surveyors, environmental experts and even the road planners who look at a piece of land and see what will fit.
Jim Colantonio explains: "We rely on owners, developers, brokers, etc. to identify pieces of land for – more... development. Typically speaking, we will receive a call that starts out with 'here's a piece of land.' We are then charged with the task of doing a feasibility study to find out if we can accommodate a development plan on that property. Based on the findings of the assessment, the design and permitting process are begun.
The firm designed and permitted a large mixed-use development in the center of Norfolk. In Avon, they were heavily involved with development of Home Depot, Costco, the Christmas Tree Shops and the entire Stockwell Drive, Merchant's Park, development. The company has been involved in 90% of that development in that park from the beginning. On the residential side, there's a large apartment complex development project with Lincoln Properties in Braintree.
An important feature of our approach to the development process is that we can construct what we design. We started a company called Mount Blue Construction, a separate company, but commonly owned, in the interest of providing us with a vehicle for seeing our design and permitting efforts to their logical conclusion: construction. Before we created Mount Blue, we'd be handling just the permitting and design side of things. Our engineering services took care of getting permits and approvals, and then the company might be hired to provide some construction oversight and management inspection. Now, we are able to prepare the site and build the site. We don't build buildings - the developer hires a general building contractor for that but we'll do all the site work. We'll manage the subcontractors that come in to do that, and we'll do any off-site improvements that are required." – less – More from ZoomInfo »
