Construction on the mixed-use space reaches halfway point
NeighborWorks® Housing Solutions, the leading housing service provider in southern Massachusetts, recently hosted a “Tour on the Terrace” at the organization’s latest development in downtown Brockton, Sycamore on Main. Construction is halfway done on the new mixed-use, Enterprise Green Community-Certified building, which will feature 48 modern residences and 2,600 square feet of first-floor retail space.
During the event, NHS took the opportunity to recognize the team who continued to work on the project. The construction team has been working daily through the duration of the pandemic and has reported zero cases of COVID-19. The work team followed, and continues to follow, strict guidelines including daily temperature checks and self-certification protocols. The city of Brockton has also been instrumental in ensuring construction projects continued during the spring and summer.
Local business and civic leaders were in attendance, as was Brockton Mayor Robert F. Sullivan, who addressed the group and thanked everyone involved for investing in the future of Brockton.
"The new construction at 121 Main Street will be a true game-changer for our downtown in the city of Brockton,” Mayor Sullivan said. “I want to thank NeighborWorks Housing Solutions and their partners for their commitment to the City of Champions and for bringing first-rate housing and commercial space to our downtown.”
Sycamore on Main will bring 48 units of affordable housing to downtown Brockton and will feature mixed-use retail or restaurant space on the ground floor and one- and two-bedroom apartments on the four floors above. This new development is expected to be completed and occupied by mid-2021 and is one of several exciting new developments in downtown Brockton.
“We are grateful to the city of Brockton and Mayor Sullivan for their leadership and their help in keeping projects like Sycamore on Main on schedule and moving forward,” said Robert Corley, chief executive officer of NeighborWorks Housing Solutions. “We look forward to being a part of Brockton’s renaissance, and to the completion of this development in 2021.”
