Celebrating Family, Friends & Community

Taylor Ives grew up in Aquinnah. As a boy roaming his neighborhood beaches he probably didn’t give much thought to what it would mean to raise a family of his own here on the Vineyard. But, when he and his wife Sarah gave birth to their first son, Louie, they realized how important it was to them to try to create an island home for him too. Last Thursday that dream became a reality for the Ive’s and the Benoit’s, two island families who celebrated the completion of their new homes at Smalley’s Knoll in Aquinnah.

Let’s Keep Talking

We’re very grateful to the MV Times for their recent editorial supporting the need for more affordable housing on Martha’s Vineyard. The piece discusses ideas being considered for up to 75 new apartments in a mixed used building on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven.  Stressing the importance of working together to make affordable housing a reality for our friends and neighbors, it encourages the whole island community to get involved. We’d also like to say thank you to the Times for the kind words about our just completed apartments at Scott’s Grove in West Tisbury. Read the editorial here….

Look Who Made the Cover!

Our very own Derrill Bazzy made the cover of the most recent issue of The Vine published by The Vineyard Gazette. As our nine new apartments at Scott’s Grove in West Tisbury were finishing up he met reporter Louisa Hufstader on site to talk design, construction and the value of building for today and tomorrow.

A Shared Celebration in West Tisbury

The nine apartments at Scott’s Grove in West Tisbury were filled with the sounds of laughter and conversation as folks gathered yesterday to celebrate the ribbon cutting for a beautiful new neighborhood. A year ago, we held the ground breaking in this very same spot when it was a simple grove of trees. We’re very grateful to the dedicated team of town and state officials, our generous donors and the talented designers and builders who worked together to transform this lovely parcel into home for many year-round island residents.

A New Eye in the Sky

Randi Baird has lent her considerable photographic talent to telling the IHT story in compelling, evocative images for more than a decade. This spring she added a new lens, expanding her worldview even further, and began shooting and producing videos using her drone. We asked her if she’d be interested in helping us capture a few of our properties from the sky and with her usual enthusiasm she got right to it! We’re very pleased to share the three beautiful and fun videos she created for us below…just click on any of the links and the video will begin playing! Enjoy!!
