Somerville’s Tallest Residential Tower Now eight percent Leased: Massachusetts HomeBuyers HomeOwnership

 SOMERVILLE, MA–Miscela, the newest residential community at award winning Assembly Row, has a limited number of never lived in apartments still available for occupancy this summer. The twenty four story, five hundred unit tower features an outdoor pool with green space, cabanas and grills for stylish and inspired living. Miscela sits directly across from the MBTA station at 485 Foley Street in one of Somerville’s most popular neighborhoods and puts residents at the front door of Assembly Row’s wide range of retail options, full-service and takeout dining, and entertainment venues. On the ground floor of the building, residents have direct access to favorite brands such as sweetgreen, lululemon, Warby Parker and Shake Shack. All homes at Miscela have walk-in closets; some offer Juliet balconies, larger balconies or patios. Penthouses offer larger floorplans and up to twelve inch ceilings.

 Assembly Row is bike and dog friendly, and pets at Miscela can enjoy the Groom Room as well as the adjacent six acre Baxter Park.  “With summer upon us, there is a unique opportunity at Miscela to occupy a never-lived in home with access to a brand new pool and outdoor amenities,” said Mike Ennes, Senior Vice President at Federal Realty. “Assembly Row is a dynamic neighborhood with new retail, dining, fitness and services opening regularly and just in time for the good weather a full calendar of fun outdoor programming.” With a wide range of desirable amenities and eclectic work from home spaces, Miscela emphasizes access to fresh air and healthy living.  Features include a twenty forth floor lookout with soaring river views towards Boston, a hidden “speakeasy” lounge and a courtyard swimming pool with cabanas, grills and lawn with a fire pit.

 The main resident lounge is a two-story loft style space with private cabins and a cozy fireplace which creates an ideal destination for either a daytime “work-from-home” atmosphere or an evening “out-of-home” experience.  The building has been designed to achieve a LEED Silver certification and highlights healthy living with a yoga deck, fitness center with turf zone for cross-functional fitness regimens, a spin studio and bike storage. Miscela is one of the centerpieces of Assembly Row’s Phase three expansion. Nearby at 455 Grand Union Boulevard, PUMA’s North American headquarters is now open as the anchor to a state-of-the-art high-rise office building with a CVS at the base. Groceries and necessities are steps away at Trader Joe’s.

First Time Home Buying in Massachusetts

MABA Buyer Agents help first time home buyers reduce the stress and frustration normally associated with buying a home or condo – especially for first time home buyers.

As a first time homebuyer in Massachusetts, you can turn to our non-profit organization to help you understand and navigate the complexities of the entire Massachusetts real estate transaction, from mortgage pre-approval until you are handed the keys to your new home or condominium. Each of our member buyer's brokers and agents works only for their buyer-clients and never for the seller of the home or condo that their buyers want to buy.

MABA Buyer Agents will take the time to learn about you and your real estate goals, help you understand your options, including first time home buyer programs, properties and/or condominium associations, estimate real property values and put together a negotiating strategy to help you increase the odds of getting your offer accepted in our competitive Massachusetts real estate market. After advocating to get your offer accepted, your MABA buyer's agent will be there for you at your home inspection and help you protect your deposit through the inspection, purchase & sale and financing contingency periods.

You can buy your first home or condo with confidence knowing that your MABA buyer agent is committed to saving you time and money and helping you make your best home buying decision.

Selecting the Right Homebuyer's agent

Unlike most other real estate agents, a MABA home buyer's broker never represents both a buyer and seller in the same transaction so you never have to worry whether a MABA agent is really looking out for your best financial interests. A MABA buyer's agent acts as your advocate, real estate educator, advisor and negotiator, always loyal to you and dedicated to helping you find and buy the best home with the best terms at the price and showing you which homes to avoid along the way.

Fewer than one percent of the agents and brokers in Massachusetts meet our high standards.
