About

Clarendon Hill Apartments is the first phase of the planned redevelopment of the Clarendon Hill community.

This major housing redevelopment project will include 591 dwelling units and will meet Somerville's zoning requirement for all buildings over 50,000 SF to be LEED Platinum certifiable. The project consists of 216 replacement units for existing public housing on site, 16 units affordable to those with incomes at 80% AMI or less, 64 units affordable to those with incomes at 110% AMI or less, and 295 units (49%) market rate rental units. The development will include 3 LEED platinum apartment buildings that will also maximize electrification by using air source heat pump mini-splits for all units. The project will also include 48,000 SF of townhouses that will utilize electric air source heat pump mini-splits for heating and cooling.
