Mill Creek breaks ground on new 248-unit Modera Marshfield - developed with CrossHarbor Capital Partners

Marshfield, MA Mill Creek Residential, a leading multifamily investor and operator specializing in apartment communities across the U.S., compelted the groundbreaking of Modera Marshfield, a garden-style community.

Located midway between Boston and Cape Cod on the South Shore, Modera Marshfield will consist of 248 townhome and flat-style apartment homes spanning 14 buildings. The community will feature spacious layouts, offer access to a variety of beaches and quick connectivity to Rte. 3, a key north-south thoroughfare that serves as the gateway to the Boston metropolitan area. First move-ins are anticipated for late 2020. 

“Marshfield offers suburban living at its finest in a charming seaside locale, but doesn’t currently offer an abundance of class A living options,” said Lars Unhjem, managing director of development for the Boston area for Mill Creek Residential. “We look forward to helping address that need with Modera Marshfield.” 

Located off of Rte. 139, commuters will also benefit from the Greenbush commuter rail station in the neighboring town of Scituate, commuter boats in Hingham and Hull and multiple commuter bus options. 

The community, which is being developed in conjunction with CrossHarbor Capital Partners, a Boston-based investment management firm, will sit within 12 minutes of the town’s five beaches and 15 minutes from the Derby Street Shoppes, one of the country’s most acclaimed shopping centers that features a combined 65 restaurants and retailers. Within the neighborhood, residents have walkable access to a variety of attractions and conveniences, including a Roche Bros. supermarket, athletic fields and additional shopping and dining options. In addition, all three elementary, middle and high schools are within a mile of the community.

“We believe Modera Marshfield will provide an ideal coastal living experience for both commuters and those who like to stay near home,” said Tim Alexander, vice president of development for Mill Creek Residential. “The spacious homes and amenities within the community, coupled with the walkable amenities nearby, will offer an attractive lifestyle for our residents.”

Modera Marshfield will offer one, two and three-bedroom homes with den layouts available and an average square footage of 1,104 per home. Community amenities will include a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center, outdoor fireplace and kitchen, playground, dog run and resident clubhouse with leasing offices and package reception. 

Apartment interiors will be equipped with a variety of upmarket features including custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, wood-plank style flooring, quartz countertops, large walk-in closets and in-home washers and dryers. 

Modera Marshfield will be the seventh community developed by Mill Creek in the greater Boston area.
