This 48-unit new construction affordable housing community for seniors will energize the area and provide several supportive care services including onsite healthcare offerings to its residents. MBC is proud to serve as the building partner once again for NewCourtland after the successful completion of St. Barts Phase II earlier this year - a 90-unit senior housing community in Northeast Philadelphia. Let's get going! Congrats to NewCourtland and all the building partners involved including Allegheny West Foundation , CBP Architects and MBC project team members Erick Tripp Ed Swank?Iliana Limon?Regina Ennis?Matthew Kreft on a successful groundbreaking ceremony on Friday!?Clearfield Apartments expects to open Fall 2025, stay tuned for progress updates. ? #buildingontrust #newcourtland #newproject

McDonald Building Company was proud to sponsor and attend The Carpenters' Company 300th Anniversary over the weekend! What a wonderful time celebrating a historical milestone in Philadelphia with fellow members, AEC colleagues and guests from The Carpenters’ Company of London. While 300 years is certainly a long time, The Carpenters' Company of London dates back over 700 years and both Companies remain the only two existing craft guilds in the world. Formed in 1724, The Carpenters' Company is the oldest existing craft guild in North America and calls Carpenters Hall museum home, where the first Continental Congress meeting was held in 1774. Lots of history! #mcdonaldbuildingcompany #buildingontrust #carpentersco Paul McDonald Tom McDonald Laura Clevenger

This Wednesday night, MBC was proud to attend the 2024?General Building Contractors Association (GBCA)?Fall Membership Meeting.

?? Shout out to our Drexel student, Michael Simankin, who has been working with us since the spring and will be wrapping up his 6-month co-op next month. Michael has been learning the ins and outs of the preconstruction department and it has been a pleasure having Michael assist MBC in the early building stages. He's been helping out with material sourcing and learning square footage takeoffs as well as drafting scopes of work, accompanying our crew on site visits, and interpreting architectural specs & documents. We asked "What fascinates you about the construction industry?" Michael responded, "The construction industry requires the combined efforts of dozens of individuals with different specialties to work together in order to effectively complete projects. It is fascinating to me how well people can overcome their differences to build big infrastructure." We agree Michael! Michael returns to Drexel in September and is pursuing a DUAL degree in which he will receive his Bachelors in Civil Engineering and Masters in Geotechnical Engineering AT THE SAME TIME in the Summer of 2026. ?? Thanks for all your hard work Michael...we are here to support you in your AEC career ahead! #buildingontrust #mbccares
