Last Thursday, a group of roughly forty multifamily professionals descended upon MetroMark Apartments , a trendy new apartment community located in Jamaica Plain. Part of RHA NextGen’s First Look Mix N’ Mentor series, those who joined got to get a sneak preview of this gorgeous new community, but also meet marketing managers, leasing consultants, on-site property staff and vendors who share the same passion for multifamily knowledge. MetroMark’s new entertainment kitchen and lounge area was perfect for our meet and greet. Featuring a fabulous hor d’oeuvres spread and complimentary beverages – those in attendance got to learn about current industry rental trends, new products, marketing strategies and discuss the current multifamily landscape in the Boston area! After a brief community overview and introduction from manager Kelli Ahearn-Lucas and Corcoran Management marketing manager Jared Gardner, several groups were offered guided tours of the model apartment a

Stone Run Apartments, a Corcoran-managed apartment community in Weymouth, MA, is welcoming in a brand-new look! While we excel in a wide range of multifamily property management aspects, one focus we take seriously is improving the quality of life for our residents and to provide them with the most up-to-date industry amenities. Stone Run was built in the mid 1980’s, and since its inception, has undergone numerous renovations, whether it’s infrastructural upkeep or physical rehabilitation of kitchens and apartment interiors. In keeping up the tradition of continuing to enhance Stone Run, Corcoran has opened up a redesigned clubhouse/pool area to go along with ongoing apartment interior renovations!

A Quick Tour of Life for the First Residents of MetroMark in Jamaica Plain On August 1st we welcomed our first group of residents to their brand-new MetroMark apartment homes! All who have moved in to one of our tasteful studio, one, two or three bedroom apartment homes are getting unmatched attention and assistance from our leasing and maintenance staff ensuring that life at MetroMark is perfect. The first of two buildings located along the 3611-3615 blocks of Washington Street features a collection of high-end amenities and apartments that are freshly-minted.  Here are some of the highlights! Modern-Age Kitchens with A Flashy Look A walk through the front door leads to a breathtaking kitchen. 36” soft-closing cabinets carved out of  autumn wood offer the primary visual punctuated by a stainless steel appliance package and mosaic tile backsplash. A sprawling quartz island countertop provides extra space for cutting up fruits and veggies or marinating favorite meats!

Things Are Coming Along at MetroMark!

It feels like only a few weeks ago we were dealing with rotten 40-degree temperatures and a constant cycle of rain and gloominess in the city of Boston. As you probably have noticed by now, that rough patch is long in the past, and thoughts have been redirected to looking forward to an AMAZING summer in our awesome city. MetroMark, Jamaica Plain's newest Apartment Community couldn't be more excited to make its debut this summer as well. Stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, dark appointed cabinetry, marble tile bathrooms, central AC and more will be seen at each one of the 283 newly constructed apartments right next to the Forest Hills MBTA Station. We are happy to say that our first residents will be moving in on August 1st! The first building of our community will be home to all new move-in's, and after that January 1st is when the rest of our future residents will get to call MetroMark home. Right now our fabulous leasing staff of Kelli and Razi are off

The Big Date in Jamaica Plain is Nearing....

Image
The month of April in New England is viewed as a fresh-awakening and this year it will bring with it the grand opening of MetroMark, Jamaica Plain’s newest luxury apartment homes just steps away from the Forest Hills MBTA station. After months of cold, sheltered, snowy and gloomy days, you can enjoy baseball at Fenway, running along the Charles, outdoor dining throughout the hub , and a MetroMark hard hat tour. Renderings courtesy of Neoscape, Inc. 2015" The Leasing Team invites you to visit and be the first to reserve an apartment home beginning in April. See for yourself sleek kitchen designs featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and dark smooth-faced wooden cabinets.

We finally got a taste this morning of the much anticipated (and hated) New England winter weather. Despite the temperatures dropping down into the low 20’s, and with an early Tuesday snowstorm on the horizon, construction is going full-steam ahead at 3611 Washington Street in Jamaica Plain, the future home of 283 luxury-apartments known as MetroMark. For the past few months construction crews have been busy putting together the framework and foundation of the community’s two buildings. Upon completion, MetroMark will feature luxury finishes, high-end amenities, and just like the fellow 02130 community, an artistic flare and cultural connection. If you’ve driven by Forest Hills recently or taken the “T” you may have noticed some new changes to the area. The famed “Casey Overpass” has been torn down, and brings new light (literally) to the Forest Hills section of Jamaica Plain. The Arborway/Washington Street intersection will continue to undergo construction for the next
