Cambridge, MA
Project phase
Community review
HRI (Homeowners Rehab Inc.) works to preserve and develop affordable housing across the City of Cambridge through the acquisition of existing buildings and the construction of new buildings, both of which include extensive energy retrofits, green construction, historic renovation, and infill construction on properties in our portfolio.
The site includes a vacant building, formerly used by Lesley University as their Admissions Office until Fall 2021, and a large parking lot adjacent to Mellen Street.
This development will add many more high-quality apartments to the Baldwin neighborhood for individuals and families with low and moderate incomes.
1627 Mass Ave will include improvements to the sidewalk to activate Mass Ave and enhance the pedestrian experience.
This project will preserve the historic character of 1627 Mass Ave as a landmark within the City of Cambridge and former home of Cambridge mayor Charles H. Saunders.
