37 Brookline Street

37 Brookline Street is a 6,582 square foot property in Cambridgeport, located a couple of blocks south of Massachusetts Avenue and the amenities of Central Square, including shops, restaurants and the Central Square MBTA station. The property contains an existing vacant three-family building, which was most recently owned by the late artist Peter Valentine, a well-known member of the Cambridge arts community.

Just A Start (JAS) purchased the property in July 2023 and intends to replace the existing triple-decker with a new affordable multi-family rental development under the provisions of the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO). 37 Brookline will be developed in conjunction with another new JAS project, 240 Broadway (Broadway Park), as a scattered-site affordable rental housing project.


JAS completed the AHO community process in September 2024 and is working on assembling the final financing needed to begin construction.
