Luxury Apartments Taking Shape at MarketStreet Lynnfield

When the first several dozen businesses at the MarketStreet Lynnfield development open later this summer, the first residents of the Arborpoint apartments will start moving in soon after.

Arborpoint will feature 180 apartments in three 60-unit buildings plus a clubhouse that includes a heated in-ground pool, a cooking area, fitness center, club room, and gas fireplace.

"We're very big on creating the community spaces. It tends to be why people tend to come live with us and stay a long time," Ted Tye, managing partner of National Development, told Lynnfield Patch during a site visit this week. "People want to live in places where there's lots of things going on."

This will be the fifth Arborpoint development, with others located in Medford, Burlington and Newton. The one and two-bedroom smoke-free apartments will range in size from 752 to 1,293 square feet, Arborpoint Marketing Coordinator Kassandra Pappas told Lynnfield Patch.

A visit to the site found that many of the apartments will have views of Reedy Meadow looking out toward the golf course, while the others will look out over the commercial area of MarketStreet Lynnfield. Nearby walking trails will provide access to the 100 acres of conservation land and golf course provided to the town, added Tye. The nine-hole King Rail golf course is set to re-open in the spring of 2014.

Arborpoint tenants should begin moving in around the first of September, said Tye, a couple of weeks after the first businesses mark their grand openings. Other businesses will continue to open at MarketStreet into the fall, he added.
