Axiom Architercts awarded design of 49 condo units at Chapel Hill Landing
Medfield, MA Axiom Architects was awarded the Chapel Hill Landing project, located on Hospital Rd. The development is owned by Country Estates of Medfield, LLC.
This single- and multifamily residential community will feature 49 condominium units with varying floor plans ranging in size from 2,100 s/f to 2,600 s/f. Although the entire development is not expected to be completed until 2018 or 2019, a model unit has been completed and can be visited by interested parties.
The community, which offers both single-family and townhouse-style homes, also features miles of nature and hiking trails with views of the Charles River, as well as a river walkway, canoe and kayak launch site, and the 40-acre Medfield Sledding Hill all nearby. Landscaping, snow, and refuse removal services are provided by the community.
Additionally, nine of the units have been specified as affordable through MassHousing’s 40B designation. Chapter 40B is a state statute that enables local Zoning Boards of Appeals to approve affordable housing developments under flexible rules if at least 25% of the units have long-term affordability restrictions.
“This is a great project for the town of Medfield, and we’re happy to have a role in creating this new living community,” said Jamie Kelliher, AIA and project architect at Axiom Architects. “The model unit is a great representation of all that is to come.”
