We're pleased to announce that our team has secured final approvals from the City of Lowell for the redevelopment of 41 Hurd Street, advancing the adaptive reuse of a historic property into a modern residential community for downtown Lowell.

41 Hurd Street is the former home of the Lowell District Court (known as the "Courthouse"), which opened in 1925 and closed in 2020. Following a public Request for Proposals (RFP) process in July of 2025, Heritage Properties was selected by the City of Lowell to redevelop the 57,000+ square foot site. Since then, Heritage Properties successfully presented redevelopment plans and has since received final approvals from the city’s Historic Board, Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), and Planning Board. The redevelopment opportunity was made possible through a partnership between the City of Lowell and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (“DCAMM”), with the shared goal of increasing housing production in a historic downtown location.

“This is an exciting milestone for our team and brings 41 Hurd Street one step closer to reality," said Jeff Bush, President of Heritage Properties. "We appreciate the collaboration and thoughtful consideration by the City of Lowell throughout this entire process. As we get underway, we look forward to delivering another residential project that honors the history of the site and our surrounding neighborhood while bringing high-quality, much-needed housing to downtown Lowell.”

With the local approval process now complete, we turn our focus toward advancing the project through the remaining pre-construction planning and preparation through its dedicated in-house construction division. Market Square Architects will be leading the exterior and interior design.

The redevelopment will build upon our continued investment in downtown Lowell, including The Emery, our latest residential development, located within the Jackson-Appleton-Milnes (JAM) urban renewal district.
