Just A Start (JAS) is in the process of assembling financing in order to begin construction of 52 New Street. This new construction project, located in North Cambridge immediately adjacent to Danehy Park, will result in the creation of 106 units of affordable rental housing. The site is well located for housing, in close proximity to many amenities in the neighborhood including the Fresh Pond reservoir, Fresh Pond shopping areas, public transit, and Danehy Park.     

JAS will be developing the site as 100% affordable housing under provisions of the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO). 

 

JAS completed the AHO process in January 2022 and is now in the process of assembling financing in order to begin construction.

Existing Site: An industrial site, currently used as a gym, on a deep asphalt lot adjacent to Danehy Park near the Fresh Pond reservoir, Fresh Pond shopping areas, and public transit.

  • 106 affordable units 
  • Approximately 3,000 square feet of new retail/commercial space
  • Improved site connectivity to Danehy park
