Quarterra Starts Construction on Second Massachusetts Multifamily

Quarterra Multifamily, has started construction at Harper, a 265-unit mid-rise community located in the Boston, MA neighborhood of Allston.

The neighborhood has historically attracted a large student demographic due to its location at the center of Boston’s top universities; in recent years, however, the area has also become home to a diverse population of young professionals, lured by the public art and burgeoning music scene, according to Quarterra Multifamily.

“Allston is perfectly positioned amid Boston’s unparalleled academic institutions. But the neighborhood has really taken on its own identity over the years,” said Dan Lee, Quarterra Multifamily (a subsidiary of Lennar Corporation) division president for New England.

Harper will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment homes, including eight designated artist studio units. The community will be highlighted by two rooftop decks and 2,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Harper residents will have access to a club room, fitness studio, co-working spaces, artist studio, pet spa and automated parking garage.
