Marcus Partners begins work on 304-unit residential development

North Attleboro, MA Marcus Partners has started construction on 582 Kelley, a 304-unit residential community on Kelley Blvd. Collaborative partnership with the state and the towns of North Attleboro and Plainville resulted in an infrastructure grant and the project has been approved as part of the 40R Smart Growth Overlay that was adopted by the town at the end of 2022.

“Our plan for this property delivers much-needed, high-quality housing to North Attleboro as well as much-desired amenities as we learned from an extensive process,” said Caitlin Walker, senior development manager, Marcus Partners. “We appreciate the cooperation of the community and the municipality in order to get construction started and improve surrounding infrastructure.”

582 Kelley includes a mix of one-bedroom to three-bedroom rental units, along with detached garages that are paired with a clubhouse, fitness center, coworking space, dog park, community gardens, outdoor fire pits and grills, park space, and a pool area. The first homes are expected to be ready the spring/summer of 2026.

The project is designed to meet the MA Stretch Energy Code, supporting broader sustainability initiatives. Key features include an all-electric building design, solar-ready infrastructure, and 20% of parking spaces EV-ready. Additional initiatives include high-efficiency mechanical systems and enhanced building envelope design to further reduce the project’s environmental footprint. The project is being financed by TD Bank.

“Bringing a mix of new, sustainably designed homes to an area that’s growing follows TD Bank’s core values,” Nick DaPrato, TD Bank VP, relationship manager, said. “We are happy to support Marcus Partners on this project and look forward to seeing new housing developed in North Attleboro.”
