O'Connor Capital Partners completes 428-unit Building 2 at Atmark apartments

O'Connor Capital Partners, a privately-owned, independent, real estate investment, development, and management firm, has completed the final phase of its luxury Atmark apartment community. The completed 428-unit development in the city's Alewife/Fresh Pond neighborhood offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options along with a host of amenities designed to target members of the innovation, biotechnology, and healthcare economy looking for a live/work/play lifestyle. The most pet-friendly rental community in the Boston region, Atmark charges no pet rent for up to two pets (some breed restrictions may apply). Atmark Apartments is a 589,428 s/f luxury apartment complex. The community also features a sustainable program, including LEED Silver Certification, Energy Star Certification, solar heating, and various other elements. "The success of Atmark has been remarkable," said Brian Fallon, partner at O'Connor Capital. "The leasing velocity we're seeing and the feedback we›ve received from residents shows that we›ve delivered an exceptional product and living experience that is a welcome addition to Cambridge's competitive rental market." Building 2 delivers an additional 168 units to the property. Along with the new apartments, which feature bright, open layouts with 10-foot finished floor to ceiling heights, 6-foot Pella windows throughout, barn wood maple hardwood floors, chef-grade kitchens with stainless steel appliances, kitchen islands, and granite countertops with solid wood cabinetry, Building 2 also boasts a large private outdoor space. Unmatched in the area, this spacious courtyard is equipped with grilling stations and café seating, oversized hammocks, and gorgeous lawns and landscaping for residents to enjoy. The building also features an art gallery, which will feature local artists' work, as well as a private café space offering Starbucks Coffee. With over 85% of Building 1 occupied and numerous leases already signed for Building 2 with move ins this month, renters who are ready for an upgrade have little time to waste if they want to enjoy Atmark's luxury apartments and amenities. "Once someone walks through the door, they can't help but want to call Atmark home," said Caitlin Silva, property manager at Atmark. "It's truly a place where we not only value customer service, but also the community we've built where residents and staff are on a first name basis." Located close to public transportation via the MBTA Red Line and bus service to Concord Ave. as well as Rte 2., Atmark is an ideal location for those commuting into Cambridge/Boston via public transportation or out to the suburbs via their vehicles.
