Mixed-use in Cambridge Links St. James Church to Condos, Retail
St. James Place, a mixed-use, transit-oriented development that links the historic St. James Episcopal Church to 46 condominiums and 2,000 square feet of retail space, has been completed in Cambridge. Financials were not disclosed.
The project is located on Massachusetts Avenue in Porter Square near the MBTA Red Line station, shopping and dining options, and three parks.
According to builder Nauset Construction, the community adds much-needed housing stock to Cambridge while offering stability to an institution that provides critical services to those in need.
St. James Place was developed by Acorn Holdings in partnership with the St. James Episcopal Church at the site of a shuttered car wash into housing and replaces an inaccessible and deteriorating parish hall with a new 11,400 square-foot structure. The new hall houses classrooms for children’s programs, a nursery, library, and music practice rooms as well as a commercial kitchen and the neighborhood food pantry.
The development also includes a courtyard with greenspace.
