Del-Sano Contracting Corp. marks the grand opening of Mr. Olive Manor II in Flanders, NJ. Mt. Olive Manor II consists of 50 affordable, federally subsidized, one-bedroom apartments and is adjacent to 60 existing apartments that comprise Mt. Olive Manor I. Del-Sano served as the general contractor for the $8.9 million project, which was funded largely through the Section 202 HUD program. Mt. Olive Manor II is professionally managed by Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey.

According to Del-Sano CEO Angelo Del Russo, "Since the project is adjacent to Mt. Olive Manor I and they share several common areas, it was important to create a smooth transition during construction and minimize disruption to current residents at the existing facility.

Mt. Olive Manor II has been outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, including a key-fob entry/security system and the latest wiring for cable and data services. Other features include hallways lined with handrails, handicap-accessible showers, and an intercom system that connects directly to the building management office for added peace of mind. In keeping with its commitment to green building, Del-Sano achieved Energy-Star Certification for Mt. Olive Manor II for adhering to strict guidelines for the way the site was developed and will continue to use energy, water, and materials to reduce the impact on human health and the environment, as outlined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mt. Olive Manor II was dedicated in memory of Mr. Gerald O. Sims. Mr. Sims was the Director of Housing Development for LSM/NJ from 1998 to 2005 and during his tenure, was instrumental in the planning and design of Mt. Olive Manor II.
