solutions for members of the U.S. military and their families, announced

the completion of 716 family housing units ahead of schedule and

on-budget for its AETC Group 1 project with the United States Department

of the Air Force. The construction cost for these new housing units was

approximately $206M. The Air Force bases under this project are Altus

AFB in Altus, OK, Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX, Tyndall AFB in

Panama City, FL and Luke AFB in Glendale, AZ.

“We are very pleased and proud of our achievement on the AETC project,”

stated Ron Nestor, Senior Vice President of Project Management for

Balfour Beatty Communities. “It is due to teamwork, careful planning and

the exercising of financial discipline that we reached this major

accomplishment.”

Construction of the homes is part of a 5-year initial development period

which began in 2007 and includes the renovation of 959 existing homes

located throughout the four bases. The total number of homes that

Balfour Beatty Communities maintains and manages at the four bases is

now 2,607 units.

“We look forward to many more successes with our Air Force partners over

the course of this 50-year project,” added Nestor.
