Brookline, MA On the former grounds of Newbury College, Dellbrook|JKS has finished constructing The Newbury of Brookline, a luxury senior living community. The development, located in Fisher Hill, provides 159 apartments residences, with a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care suites. The Newbury at Brookline will be managed by Kisco Senior Living.

Two buildings comprise the high-end campus: a new six-story, 189,000 s/f main building, complemented by the adaptive reuse of a historic 20,000 s/f counterpart, the Mitton House. After the meticulous restoration of this 1890s building, once a private residential mansion, The Mitton House now holds six of the development’s independent living apartments, residences, and common areas that boast a combination of upscale modern and preserved antique finishes. Residents who choose to make their home within the Mitton House have the opportunity to live in a space that echoes a remarkable history and a symbol of the area’s rich cultural past.

The Newbury of Brookline, a Kisco Signature Community, is designed to provide its community members with life-enriching programs, a 24/7 concierge team, and a wide range of elevated amenities. These include a Skyline Bar with views of Boston, full-service dining areas, multiple activity rooms, a courtyard, an indoor pool, a salon and spa, a library, a pet wash station, indoor valet parking, and more. From thoughtful architecture to inspired amenities and exemplary service, The Newbury strives to anticipate the wants and needs of its members, delivering the ultimate luxuries: peace of mind and the freedom to pursue the things that bring them joy alongside those they love.
