Somerville, MA – Davis Square Partners, the development team for Maxwell’s Green, announced that it is poised to break ground on the $52.5 million residential project. Located less than a mile from Davis Square in Somerville, Maxwell’s Green will bring several key benefits to the community – including a unique and vibrant living experience, new jobs and additional green space.
Formerly known as the MaxPac project, the 5.5 acre transit-oriented Maxwell’s Green development will feature 199 LEED Certified and Certifiable units, including 25 units of affordable housing, along with studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units and 15 town homes. In addition it will include a yoga studio, weight room, chef’s kitchen, club room, unique wireless work space, theater room, additional green space and a new addition to the Somerville Community Path.
Maxwell’s Green is located on a former Brownfield site that once housed manufacturing buildings including the International Paper Company.
Design, marketing, engineering and other preliminary work on the project has already begun with help from more than a dozen local Somerville residents as well as union labor from Local 4 of the Operating Engineers Union.
“This project took many years to come together and it is the result of extensive community involvement. When they break ground for Maxwell’s Green it will officially start an era of transit-oriented development in Somerville,” said Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone.
