In this highly challenging project, Weld Management converted a former industrial site into an attractive 102-unit residential complex in two phases. Everett is an older, established community, conveniently located just 8 minutes grin downtown Boston. Weld responded to all community concerns regarding parking, traffic, and increased density and created a plan that was compatible with both the architecture and character of the surroundings. The two-bedroom units were targeted to first-time buyers and offered an unbeatable combination of aesthetics and economic value. To reduce marketing risk, a portion of the existing manufacturing building was immediately converted into a marketing center, so that the sale of units began with the start of construction. Phase I of the project (48 units) is fully occupied. Construction of Phase II is scheduled for early 1990.
