Balfour Beatty Communities and U.S. Army Fort Hamilton Celebrate Completion of New Officer Homes

FORT HAMILTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Balfour Beatty Communities, a national residential real estate investment and management company and longstanding partner to the Department of Defense, is excited to announce the completion of newly constructed homes for U.S. Army senior leaders at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, NY. The new homes are part of Fort Hamilton Family Homes, the privatized military housing community at Fort Hamilton.

Located within the scenic Officers Row neighborhood, the new homes replace demolished units that were constructed more than 50 years ago and offer updated layouts, modern finishes, and energy-efficient features that elevate the on-base living experience. This marks the completion of a multi-phase project that included exterior renovations to all units located in the community’s Doubleday Village neighborhood.

"Our mission is to deliver high-quality communities that our residents are proud to call home," said Theresa Steele, Vice President of Army Project Development for Balfour Beatty Communities. "The newly constructed homes and completed renovations at Fort Hamilton reflect our strong partnership with the U.S. Army and our unwavering commitment to provide exceptional living experiences for military families."

Colonel Melissa Cantwell, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton Commander, expressed her appreciation for the project, stating, "The completion of these homes reflects the strength of our partnership with Balfour Beatty Communities and our shared commitment to providing the best possible living conditions for our service members. These homes will help enhance the quality of life for our senior leaders and their families, ensuring they have a comfortable place to call home as they fulfill their important roles."

Balfour Beatty Communities continues to collaborate with the Department of Defense under the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI), leveraging private-sector expertise and resources to sustain and improve military housing and provide exceptional living experiences for service members and their families.
