Finch Cambridge (formerly named Concord Highlands)

Exterior of Finch Cambridge

In 2016, Homeowner’s Rehab, Inc. (HRI) purchased the one acre parcel at 671-675 Concord Avenue, located near the Fresh Pond Reservoir. The property was redeveloped into a 98-unit building, which includes one, two, and three bedroom apartments. There are several tiers of affordability at Finch Cambridge, including housing for very low-income households (under 30% AMI), low and moderate income households (30-80% AMI) and middle income households (80-100%). This is the largest new construction of 100% permanently affordable housing development in Cambridge in 40 years.

Finch was one of the first multifamily housing developments in the state to meet Passive House standards, and has won awards for its sustainable design, including the PRISM Award (Best Affordable Community) by Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston in 2020, and Sustainable Design Award by Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) in 2021.

Construction was completed in 2020. No further updates will be made to this project page.

The property includes:  

  • 98 affordable rental units, including 32 one-bedrooms, 45 two-bedrooms, and 21 three-bedrooms; all of which are affordable in perpetuity 
  • 67 covered and open spaces at grade 
  • Penthouse community room and rooftop terrace  
  • Play space in the back of the property
