Info
In the City of Lowell’s historic and diverse The Acre neighborhood, Davis Square Architects is currently working with Tremont Development Partners LLC on 733 Broadway, a new four-story, 52-unit affordable rental housing development.
Conveniently located across from a bus stop and less than two miles from the Lowell MBTA Commuter Rail station, 733 Broadway was once home to an historic warehouse that has been largely demolished, but select portions of the façade will be restored and incorporated into the new design. Features include a community room, bike storage, a management office, and in-building, street-level parking. Three of the units will be ADA-accessible, and three units will be reserved as permanent housing for formerly homeless families, with House of Hope providing supportive services.
733 Broadway will feature all-electric systems and has received Passive House design certification, a process that required unique solutions to support and restore the existing warehouse’s masonry walls and historic windows to National Park Service standards while also meeting Phius thermal bridging, insulation, and air-tightness requirements.
