Jack Flats
Melrose, MA
Located on the site of the former Boston Rubber Shoe Factory, Jack Flats apartments combine the best of today’s contemporary architecture and design with the rustic charm of a 19th century historic landmark. Each apartment is a unique gem, and every one tells a story. A new story. An old story. Woven together in a tale called home.
Jack Flats consists of the redevelopment of the former Boston Rubber Shoe Company facility to a 300-unit, transit-oriented apartment community. The redevelopment preserved and renovated two existing mill buildings, while constructing three new apartment buildings with garage parking and a new clubhouse with residential units above. Located in the heart of Melrose and surrounded by the best shops, restaurants, and entertainment, the project is consistent with Melrose Smart Growth District regulations. BH+A provided site planning, historic rehabilitation, layout and interior design for all apartments, conveniently situated less than 10 Miles from Downtown Boston and Cambridge, and with multiple rail stations and bus stops within walking distance.
