Construction Updates at The Emery

Construction at The Emery, our newest multifamily community, has made some big strides over the last few months as our team gears up for a summer preleasing period and planned fall occupancy!

Located at 218 Middlesex Street in downtown Lowell, The Emery is being developed on a vacant lot in Lowell’s JAM (Jackson/Appleton/Middlesex) urban renewal neighborhood zone. The Emery marks the latest investment in Lowell’s JAM district – once a hub of textile innovation, now an area emerging as one of Lowell’s most dynamic neighborhoods for arts, culture, and community.

First and foremost, over the past few months, our team has been working to frame the building – which was completed in February. The preliminary roof structure is in place and now nearing completion, with our construction crew working to wrap up roofing systems and prepare for final roofing components.

Significant progress has also been made on the exterior enclosure. Large portions of the building are wrapped and weatherproofed, window openings are now complete at each elevation – with window installations underway, and early exterior details are moving along (giving an exciting first look at how the building will translate from rendering to reality – see below).

Once completed, The Emery will include 37 brand-new apartments across the building’s five floors – consisting of 23 studios, 10 one-bedrooms, and four two-bedrooms. Interiors will feature thoughtful built-ins, stainless appliances, modern finishes, and a warm, sophisticated color palette. The Emery will also include a bike room, storage units, and, for its first-floor residents, patios and garden space.

The project is being developed by a team of local partners in collaboration with Heritage Properties, including Gavin & Sullivan Architects, Inc., &Design Studio, Hancock Associates, and Pilot Construction.
