Rhode Island's O. Ahlborg & Sons, Inc. selected to build the residences and clubhouse

It isn't typical for a local family-owned company to survive four generations of unbroken management, especially in the contracting business, but O. Ahlborg & Sons, Inc. isn't a typical company.

O. Ahlborg & Sons, Inc., of Cranston, RI, is the contracting and construction management firm selected to build the spectacular residences and clubhouse/sales center for The Villages on Mount Hope Bay. The clubhouse and sales center are scheduled to open in December 2003.

O. Ahlborg & Sons, Inc. celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2001 and still is going strong with a reputation for excellence that is reflected in this fantastic new project.
The 10,000 square foot clubhouse will contain a fitness center, wood-paneled library, billiards room and main level social room with a massive fireplace. A second-story deck features a two-story gazebo that offers panoramic waterfront views. There will also be an outdoor pool and putting green, as well as landscaped walking paths.

Glenn Ahlborg was named company president in 1996 after serving as vice president and general manager for 14 years. They have designed and built dozens of unique residential landmarks including Jefferson at Providence Place, the Hotel Viking in Newport, RI, and the Hyannis Harborview Hotel in Hyannis, MA, as well as Olmsted Gardens in Providence and a long list of other senior and specialty residential complexes.

"We're proud to be associated with this community," said Ahlborg, "and we believe our collaboration with development manager Arthur Casey and such national award-winners as architect Gary Snider and interior designer Soni Christensen, will result in a truly outstanding building of great comfort as well as beautiful design."

Casey commented, "Having the Ahlborg family and their company as the builder on our team will assure our residents of quality-built homes and a clubhouse that will provide an array of special recreational spaces for them and their guests."
