On January 29, 2008 the Boston Globe reported that:
On-site leasing is about to begin at Parkside Commons, a smoke-free Chelsea rental community that has adopted green construction principles, its developer said.
The developer for the project, which is still under construction, is John M. Corcoran and Co. of Braintree.
An on-site leasing office is scheduled to open Friday at 100 Stockton St., the developer said.
The 238-apartment complex is set to open in the spring, and rents range roughly from $1,100 for a studio apartment to $1,950 for a large three-bedroom apartment, John M. Corcoran and Co. said.
Green elements to the complex include some recycled elements as well as low VOC paint, carpet, and adhesives; roof-top solar panels will meet a portion of the complex's energy needs, the company said.
Is this the wave of the future in multifamily housing?
