“We are thrilled to be bringing new market rate and affordable housing to a Main Street location like this in Watertown Square. With the help of our elected officials, town plotting staff, and a first rate team of professionals we have designed a building in The Elysian at Watertown Square that we reckon will serve both new and existing Watertown residents for years to come – all in a fully sustainable program which sets the standard for new development in the area. With the help of fantastic partners like Takenaka, FrontRange Capital, and Sumitomo, this type of housing development is a cornerstone of O’Connor’s future growth initiatives,” said John F. O’Connor of the O’Connor Group.
Developed to the highest sustainability standards, the property will be Passive House certified.
