In-place rents are significantly below the current market rates; the opportunity exists to continue to drive rents to the top of the market in the competitive and desirable Cambridge multi-family market. The Property has been well maintained and features large units with generously sized common and kitchen areas, offering a highly desirable and functional layout. Additionally, the large well-situated lot lends itself for a higher density redevelopment given recent changes to Cambridge zoning.
