Everett, MA Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC (Greystar) welcomed the first move-ins at Mason, a newly constructed residential community in the Commercial Triangle District of the city. Designed to impress by CBT Architects, Mason blends natural beauty with an industrial edge. Residents will enjoy modern amenities and dedicated work areas in a rising neighborhood with direct access to both North and South Station via the nearby Chelsea MBTA Station, providing access to employment centers throughout Boston.
Located at 101 Mill Rd., Mason is home to 330 apartment units, 400 onsite parking spaces, 5,000 s/f of ground floor retail, plus an array of amenity uses. This includes a fully equipped fitness center and yoga studio; a resort-style courtyard pool with cabana seating, grilling stations, and a fire pit; a makerspace for artists and DIY enthusiasts; a pet spa and dog park; and more. With daily concierge services, on-site package acceptance and a cold storage package room, convenient valet dry cleaning, a variety of open concept and private onsite co-working spaces, secured, keyless entry and Honeywell smart thermostats, print services, and more, Mason offers an array of thoughtful services intended to elevate and simplify the resident experience.
“We are excited to welcome the first residents to Mason, where they will enjoy highly attractive community amenities and apartments,” said Gary Kerr, managing director of development at Greystar. “We are incredibly proud of this development and its role in positioning the Commercial Triangle as a great place to live, work, and play. We are greatly appreciative of our partners, the city of Everett staff, and mayor DeMaria’s administration, in helping us open this community.”
The building features light-industrial design and modern, open-concept interiors with studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartment homes. Additionally, each home features stylish wide-plank flooring throughout, plush carpeted bedrooms, oversized windows, luxurious oversized closets, first-floor paved patio (in select residences), quartz countertops, and stainless GE appliances.
Mason is a seven-minute walk from the Chelsea MBTA Station, which offers access to the Silver Line and Commuter Rail. Chelsea Station is the only MBTA station that provides direct access to South Station and North Station, as well as to the Seaport and multiple bus lines. Other nearby transportation and neighborhood landmarks include the MBTA’s Wellington Orange Line station, the Encore Boston Harbor resort, and Assembly Row.
Mason is the first community to deliver as part of Greystar’s $730 million investment in the city. Greystar’s residential developments in the Commercial Triangle will help to usher in a new era for the district, with transit-oriented residential, retail, and pedestrian corridors. Anthem Everett will deliver 450 units while Maxwell will deliver 384 units, and 1690 Revere Beach Parkway will add an additional 741 units across two phases. Combined, these projects will also deliver more than 100 affordable units to Everett.
Greystar is making various community improvements throughout Everett’s Commercial Triangle. These include enhancing the streetscape with a new public outdoor space with multimodal connections, improved pedestrian walking paths and sidewalks. Additional contributions include $125,000 donation to the Mayor’s Everett Summer Youth Job Program (or similar City of Everett youth program), a Greystar-hosted annual career path education program, an annual Greystar Giving volunteer day in Everett, and an annual community block party fundraiser on Vale Street.
