Pawtucket, RI John M. Corcoran & Co. launched leasing at Dexter Street Commons, a new construction 150-home apartment community with ground floor retail in the Conant Thread District. Built by New England Construction, the five-story property will be managed by John M. Corcoran & Co. and expects to start move-ins late August.
Dexter Street Commons features spacious studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units accessed via two lobby elevators. With varied layouts designed for remote work, the homes all include stainless Energy Star-rated kitchen appliances, energy saving LED lighting, and independent heating and cooling systems. Thirty of the apartments are designated as workforce housing for qualified individuals or families.
“Dexter Street Commons was designed around how people want to live today, whether they’re commuting to Providence or Boston, working remotely, enjoying neighborhood dining and shopping, or simply seeking a home that supports their well-being,” said Kelli Ahearn-Lucas, assistant marketing director at John M. Corcoran & Company. “From the co-working spaces and lounges to the commuter-friendly location and wellness-focused design, this community offers residents a place to truly live, work, and thrive.”
The pet-friendly building has been built with high-demand amenities that include high-speed IoT internet, private networking, co-working spaces, indoor lounge, sprawling roof deck, touchless access, a package room, bike storage, personal storage and EV charging. Additionally, the ground floor will feature large retail spaces to support the bustling downtown Pawtucket area.
Located one block from the new Pawtucket/Central Falls commuter rail and bus hub, this transit-oriented mixed-use property is a pioneering “Live Well, Be Well” community in the Conant Thread District. With access to Pawtucket, Boston, Providence, and TF Green Airport, it offers a “live, work, stay, play, and belong” lifestyle. The design prioritizes environmental sustainability and resident well-being.
