Essex St Melrose

The Essex Street development is a 80-unit multifamily mixed income rental development. The site is located within walking distance of the MBTA Cedar Park commuter rail Haverhill Line stop and two MBTA bus stops as well as all Melrose downtown amenities. The address has a walk score of 93, which is characterized as a “walker’s paradise.” It is being developed under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40B. By redeveloping an underutilized parking lot that was identified on the cities housing production plan as a target site, the site is being optimized to provide the denser, transit-oriented development desperately needed by the Commonwealth.
