Wood Partners Breaks Ground on Multifamily Development in Concord, Massachusetts
Wood Partners has begun construction on Alta Thoreau, a new multifamily housing development featuring 237 units across two five-story buildings near Boston. Located in Concord, the project is expected to be completed by February 2028 and will include one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with modern amenities such as Pilates/yoga studios, an electric-powered infrastructure, and a golf simulator. The development incorporates sustainable design elements like Passive House standards for energy efficiency and porous pavement. Additionally, 25% of the units are designated as affordable housing to support local residents. This marks Wood Partners' first Passive House-designed community in Massachusetts and expands its portfolio across eight existing projects in the state. Jim Lambert, Managing Director at Wood Partners, emphasized the project's alignment with Concord’s historical values while introducing contemporary design and sustainability features.
