Woburn, MA National Development, in conjunction with its investment management affiliate Charles River Realty Investors, has broken ground on Emery Flats, a new 200-unit residential community at 200 Presidential Way. The multifamily development will consist of studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in two buildings. 

Amenities include a fitness center, roof top lounge, game space, co-working area, clubroom with full kitchen, and pool with a deck, outdoor grilling stations and a fire pit. The pet-friendly apartments will come with washer/dryers and individual heating/cooling controls. The site includes covered and surface parking spaces.
