Boston – Boston developer Diarmaid McGregor, principal of N6 Properties, recently announced the start of work on an apartment building in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston. The project at 375 Cummins Highway represents the first ground-up venture McGregor and company have undertaken since forming N6 Properties in 2023.
The nearly 50,000sf development will include 49 residential units with parking for up to 44 vehicles. Features of the units at 375 Cummins Highway will include stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer tile baths, spacious living areas with private balconies, and an array of natural light. The building will also include a large lobby and lounge area with a coffee bar, in addition to gym space and bicycle storage.
“While N6 Properties is a newer company, this project represents the evolution of the model I’ve been following the past 20 years. We find underutilized lots near public transportation and amenities and put in play our vision for modern city living,” said McGregor. “We’re excited to have selected Richard Schmidt Architects and Delphi Construction to bring this project to life. Their experience has been paramount in this challenging market to keep the project on budget.”
A major project component is a focus on sustainability and resiliency. The building is designed with an all-electric, high-efficiency heating and cooling system, and a lighting system designed to be over 50% more efficient than similar neighboring buildings. Electric vehicle charging stations are planned for in the naturally ventilated parking garage.
“The building infrastructure is designed to accommodate photovoltaic solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. The landscaping concept focuses on maintaining the existing urban forest. New plantings will be drought tolerant, native species vegetation,” said Rick Schmidt, AIA, principal of Rick Schmidt Architects.
With the help of FinanceBoston, N6 Properties secured a loan with North Shore Bank to build the project. The anticipated completion date is January 2026.
