Developer Jonathan Cody is helping find homes for the disabled one building at a time.
Cody, whose Atlantis Investments is currently building a new seven-bedroom home at the corner of White and Portland Streets in Haverhill, is now renovating an existing home in the city’s Highlands.
“It’s a beautiful Victorian and we are converting it to a staffed eight-bedroom home for people with developmental disabilities,” Cody told WHAV.
Vinfen, a nonprofit, health and human services organization, will take over the property at 44 Highland Ave. and operate the home.
Renovations include adding a handicapped-accessible bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, accessible kitchen and full sprinkler/fire alarm system. Construction is being handled by Francis J. Bevilacqua III of Haverhill-based Bevilacqua Builds.
Atlantis investments purchased the property April 21 for $630,000.
Cody’s company also purchased in 2018 and rehabilitated a former city-owned building at 20 Newcomb St. into 13 studio apartments for residents with special needs. Asked if homes for those who are disabled is a specialty, Cody said, “It’s seeming to be going that direction.”
