As a part of SomerVision, a 20-year plan released in 2010, the City of Somerville set employment and housing goals: 30,000 new jobs and 6,000 new housing units. In order to achieve these goals, the city recognized a need to overhaul its zoning code to allow developers to build more densely, especially on parcels on main thoroughfares and near MBTA stops, much like 73 Summer Street. This offering gives investors and developers the exceptional opportunity to tap into the growth that Somerville will enjoy over the next decade and beyond.
