DEW Construction - reviews about developer

Brattleboro Retreat Farm — Discover the historic charm and modern amenities of the North Barn, a unique venue for concerts, weddings, and community events. Located on 500 acres in Brattleboro, Vermont, this 190-year-old barn has been renovated into a flexible event space that can seat 250 guests for dinner and 600 for concerts or lectures. The restoration preserved the building’s character by maintaining the original exterior below the eaves. Enhancements included a new roof, updated windows, doors, entrance features, and improved landscaping and pathways.

Located on the east side of Wyman Road, this state-of-the-art senior living development spans 365,000 square feet and is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, independence, and community for its residents.

At the heart of the development is a four-story steel-framed Community Center totaling 43,160 square feet. It includes offices, dining areas, lounges, lobbies, a library, swimming pool, theater, and various spaces for social and recreational activities. Adjacent to the center is a four-story wood-framed Independent Living Facility with underground parking. Covering 176,000 square feet, it offers 117 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 680 to 1,500 square feet. Additionally, the Woodside Apartments building provides 45,220 square feet of residential space, featuring 24 units and an on-site tavern.

The newly constructed 16,800-square-foot Field House at The Putney School provides a comprehensive athletic and wellness environment. The facility includes a full-size basketball court, weight room, yoga studio, ski waxing room, equipment storage, locker rooms, and a social gathering space.

Designed with a strong commitment to sustainability, the building incorporates composting toilets, rainwater management systems, super insulation, and automated lighting controls. It also features a solar-powered summer hot water system and an advanced air-to-air heat exchange pump, which is powered by sun-tracking photovoltaic panels. These innovations have qualified the project for the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Platinum certification.
