The Emery Opens for Preleasing in Downtown Lowell

We're proud to announce that The Emery – our newest multifamily community in downtown Lowell – is now officially open for preleasing.

Located at 218 Middlesex Street in downtown Lowell, The Emery sits at the corner of Middlesex and Pearl streets in Lowell’s JAM (Jackson/Appleton/Middlesex) urban renewal neighborhood zone. Once a hub of textile innovation, the area is now one of Lowell’s most dynamic neighborhoods for arts and culture. The Emery represents the latest housing development in this district, reimagining a vacant lot into a modern residential community.

“We’re thrilled to open preleasing at The Emery,” said Jeff Bush, President of Heritage Properties. “The Emery reflects both the history and creative energy of Lowell’s JAM district, and we look forward to welcoming its first residents later this fall.”

The Emery features 37 brand-new residences inspired by the property’s historic surroundings, with a curated mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms spread across the building’s five floors. Prospective residents can choose from a range of floor plans designed to suit a variety of lifestyles, with interiors featuring thoughtful built-ins, stainless steel appliances, and elegant finishes – all complemented by a warm, sophisticated color palette. Select first-floor residences offer direct entries for seamless urban living. Onsite amenities include a spacious lobby, modern community room, and a secure mail & package room.

The Emery’s design draws inspiration from the city’s legacy as the “Spindle City,” nodding to Lowell’s manufacturing history and its growing community of artists and makers. The project was developed in collaboration with a team of local partners, including Gavin & Sullivan Architects, Inc., &Design Studio, and Hancock Associates. The project was supported in part by tax credits from the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP), which helps gateway cities develop housing, increase residential growth, expand housing stock diversity, and promote neighborhood stabilization.

Preleasing is now underway, with the building set to open to residents in Fall 2026.
