Clear for Takeoff at The Mastlight

Image
We are excited to announce the beginning of our newest lease-up! The Mastlight is a brand-new apartment community under construction at the Union Point master development in Weymouth, MA - Located on the site of the old South Naval Air Station . How did The Mastlight get its name you may be asking?

The Mastlight is the first building to be designed along the new “Patriot Parkway” corridor that serves as the main connecter from Route 18 in South Weymouth to Route 3 in Rockland. Apartments will feature Soaring 9’ ceilings with sweeping views, private washer a
