Cambridge, MA – Tocci Building Companies announced the award of New Street Residences, designed by Khalsa Design, Inc., a flexible residential project in Cambridge.
New Street Residences is a collection of adaptable homes that can react to rapid changes in the marketplace (i.e. Rental vs. condo, number of bedrooms etc.). When sold as condos, each unit can be customized to a particular resident’s lifestyle requirements.
Tocci will work closely with the modular subcontractor, incorporating the collaborative concepts of IPD, as detailed here.
Enhanced choice: Residents can select and customize their floor plan due to the carefully designed flex-wall system. Other flexible options are lifestyle solutions and finish materials.
Sustainable: The New Street Residences will feature third-party-certified high performance (energy efficiency, healthy interiors, minimal waste).
Technology: The backbone of the residences is web-based services. Voice over IP and network digital TV are included in every unit, along with digital entertainment upgrade packages.
New Street Residences was slated to break ground in October 1. The team has opted to leverage BIM-enabled factory-built modules to reduce overall construction duration, so that units are available to market July 1, 2010.
