The development was announced last year by Winn Development President and Managing Partner, Larry Curtis, as follows:

“This project will advance our goal to increase the supply of quality housing that is affordable for all income levels,” said WinnDevelopment President and Managing Partner Larry Curtis. “It will be a true mixed-income community, offering a mix of affordable, middle-income and market rate units that support local and state housing goals, as well as Lowell’s desire to stimulate economic activity downtown. This strong public-private partnership provides a model for how we can expand access to quality housing in underserved communities going forward. Winn Companies is committed to promoting social equity and economic opportunity through our mixed-income development projects.”

The Lowell project will join four other workforce housing developments completed by WinnDevelopment in the past two years, including two in Boston, MA, one in Quincy, MA, and one in Rochester, NY.
