About 52 New Street

52 New Street will provide 106 new, affordable, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units in North Cambridge. Adjacent to Danehy Park and the Cambridge Universal Playground, the building is also in close proximity to Fresh Pond, the Alewife MBTA station, and dozens of local shops and restaurants. The development has been built to Passive House International standards, ensuring maximum energy efficiency with features such as a robust thermal envelope and efficient HVAC systems. It also contains a range of amenities including two exterior upper-level decks, a large community room, fitness center, play area, and business center.

JAS has developed this income-restricted apartment building with funding from the City of Cambridge and the Cambridge Affordable Housing Trust.

The New Street project was the first development to take advantage of the increased density and as-of-right permitting path available under the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO). This new 100% affordable building will welcome its first residents later this year.
