The development is located on Cambridge Street, a primary thoroughfare providing direct access to MIT, Kendall Square and Cambridge Crossing.

“This closing provides the liquidity necessary to complete the engineering and architectural work which is needed to obtain construction permitting,“ said Doug Landry, Principal at Boston-based FinanceBoston. “We are looking forward to closing the follow-on construction financing later this year, and breaking ground on the vertical construction.“

In another Trans-oriented project, FinanceBoston arranged $2,000,000 in senior financing for the cash-out refinance of a multi-tenant office building on Dorchester Ave in South Boston. The development is located blocks away from the Broadway Red-Line MBTA station and is walking distance from multiple area amenities along the rapidly developing Dorchester Ave corridor.
