Atmark Apartments (Atmark), along with O'Connor Capital Partners, held its Grand Opening Party on July 31 to celebrate the success of the luxury development. Most importantly, Atmark took the opportunity to raise awareness for and make a donation to Cambridge Mayor David Maher's Cambridge Fire Relief Fund.
In addition to O'Connor Capital team members Cabot, Cabot & Forbes and Leggat McCall Properties, property manager the Bozzuto Group, construction manager Plumbhouse, and architect Cube 3 Studio all were in attendance to show their support for the successful Atmark project.
"After hearing about the Allston Street fire, we felt it was our duty to help our Cambridge neighbors." said Brian Fallon, partner of O'Connor Capital and owner/developer of Atmark. "We hope that our contribution will support the families displaced by this tragic fire."
The Cambridge Fire Relief Fund was set up last week by mayor David Maher to provide direct financial aid to the nine Cambridge families displaced by the recent nine-alarm fire. With mayor Maher and city manager Richard Rossi present at the Grand Opening celebration, Fallon was proud to present the mayor with a $5,000 check to aid the families during their difficult times.
"I would like to thank Atmark Apartments and O'Connor Capital Partners for their generous contribution to help these struggling residents," said mayor Maher. "The strength and bond of Cambridge is truly shown when situations like these arise and everyone comes together as one."
"This donation will be a great help for these families as they begin to recover from the recent tragedy," said Rossi. "Gestures like these help hold a city together, creating an integrated community."
Organized and managed by Nickerson's director of events, Carrie Richards, the party treated attendees to delicious hors d'oeuvres, multiple creative bar stations (in the Sky Lounge and poolside), and live music throughout the night.
