Nitsch Engineering

Last week we brought together employees from all five offices (MA, DC, and VA) at our Boston headquarters for a few days of in-person collaboration and team building. These photos from our September Social last Wednesday - which followed a competitive scavenger hunt around downtown Boston - provide a glimpse into life at Nitsch!

Credit goes to Matthew Arielly of Arielly Photography for capturing these moments!

Massachusetts municipalities, nonprofits, and housing developers: this is a grant opportunity worth having on your radar! The Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) has announced the relaunch of its Complete Neighborhoods technical assistance program, focused on helping communities and development partners advance affordable housing in walkable, transit-served neighborhoods. Applications open on a rolling basis beginning Wednesday, September 16, 2026, with an informational webinar scheduled for Wednesday, September 2 at 11:00 AM: https://loom.ly/cGUw6oM

For communities that have promising sites but need help understanding feasibility, infrastructure, zoning, access, parking, public process, or next steps, Nitsch can help turn an early idea into a stronger application and a more implementable project. If you are exploring affordable housing on public land, infill sites, downtown parcels, transit-served corridors, or mixed-use neighborhood centers, we’d be glad to help you think through eligibility, project positioning, and the technical pieces needed to apply.

As summer winds down, we're looking back on some of the activities that brought our team together outside of the office over the past few months: kayaking on the Charles River, walking a project site on a nice day, lunch outdoors with our Richmond crew, strolling throuhg Boston Common to get an ice cream, connecting with industry peers at the BSLA Summer Social and EBC Garden Party, participating in a sustainability tour in the Boston Seaport, and hiking Mount Watatic.

We hope you find time to get outdoors and enjoy the rest of summer in your communities too!

We're excited to see Boston University's Warren Towers renovation reach a major milestone with the completion of the first renovated tower! As one of the largest residence halls in the country, Warren Towers is undergoing a transformative renovation that will modernize the building while supporting the university's sustainability goals through features such as an all-electric design. Nitsch is proud to be providing civil engineering and land surveying services alongside Miller Dyer Spears Inc. on this project, as well as transportation engineering services for Shawmut Design and Construction.

Congratulations to Boston University and the entire project team on reaching this important achievement!
