Leasing started in July for a downtown Framingham apartment development with 196 units.
Alta Union House began offering hard-hat tours to prospective renters on Tuesday and will open its doors to tenants July 24.
The apartments are the first in a wave of major new residential projects in downtown Framingham. The five-story building replaced a surface parking lot across Concord Street from the Downtown Common.
Prices will reflect Alta Union House's location just over a block from the Framingham commuter rail stop, as well as its amenities, which include garage parking, a 24-hour fitness center, saltwater swimming pool, and courtyard with grills and fire pits.
One-bedroom units will range from $1,850 to $2,350. Two-bedroom units range from $2,550 to $2,950. Three-bedroom units are $3,575.
Ty Brieske, the property director for Alta Union House, said the apartments reached more than 10% occupancy before anyone had a chance to even tour the building. He projected hitting full occupancy as soon as the end of the year.
Alta Union House, which is being built by Wood Partners of Atlanta, also has a roughly 2,600-square-foot retail space facing Concord Street listed as available for lease.
The $60-million project, which was built with the help of $6.3 million in tax subsidies, is one of a series underway or proposed downtown, which has benefited from a rezoning in 2015 to encourage new housing.
Construction is also underway on Modera Framingham, a 270-unit project in a six story building at 266 Waverly St., a few blocks to the south, on the other side of the commuter rail tracks. It will include a five-story building above two stories of covered parking. A summer 2020 completion is expected.
Modera Framingham is being built by the Dallas developer Mill Creek, whose local roster of projects includes the 150-unit Modera Natick Center and Modera Hopkinton, which Mill Creek sold this year in a project since rebranded as Hopkinton by Windsor.
A renovation and expansion of the Bancroft Building at 59 Fountain St. into 258 residential units has been approved. That project, which includes a 160,000-square-foot renovated mill and a new 90,000-square-foot addition, is being built by Washington Square Ventures of Needham.
Framingham developer VTT Management is building a 75-unit development at Union and Proctor streets, and 96 units on what is now a parking lot bound by Concord, Kendall and Frederick streets.
Poor people should not leave the state. Poor people need to register to vote and put the right decision makes to make the right decisions and protect all residents. Including the poor.
How ridiculous. $3000 for an apartment? Massachusetts only wants millionaires to live in their state. Us poor people need to leave. What a horrible state.
