ReyCon to begin work on 121,800 s/f Brighton multifamily development
Brighton, MA Construction Management firm ReyCon has started work on the construction of a new 121,800 s/f multifamily apartment community at 44 Soldiers Field Place, in partnership with Newton-based developer, The Ballas Group. ReyCon was hired by Ballas to provide all pre-construction and construction management services.
Designed by VMY Architects and being built on the site of former office space, the five-story, 102-unit community will feature a second floor podium with five levels of wood frame over. The new building will include one- two- and three-bedroom units, each with views of the Charles River. The property will feature modern amenities throughout – including a fitness center, common area roof deck with fire pits and retail space on the first floor. ReyCon plans on breaking ground in September, with construction slated to be complete by spring of 2024.
The five-story residences will be transit oriented–located adjacent to the Mass. Pike–and within walking distance of the Boston Landing neighborhood – which includes public transportation, the New Balance global headquarters, Warrior Ice Arena, Athlete’s Park and a wide-range of shops, bars and restaurants.
“We’re honored to partner with Ballas Group and VMY Architects on this exciting project in one of the most innovative and popular areas in Metro Boston,” said ReyCon president Michael Reynolds. “Modern apartments, proximity to popular amenities and public transportation – 44 Soldiers Field Place will be a prominent place to live in Brighton.”
