Investment highlights

49-55 Davis Square is part of the 3 building Arlington - Somerville Portfolio:

The Arlington–Somerville Portfolio presents a rare opportunity to acquire three iconic mixed-use and multifamily assets totaling more than 130,000 square feet in two of Greater Boston’s most desirable, supply constrained locations: Davis Square in Somerville and Massachusetts Avenue in East Arlington. The fully occupied portfolio includes ten commercial suites and sixty-one apartment units across the historic Capitol Block (202–218 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington), the landmark Somerville Theatre Building (49–55 Davis Square, Somerville), and the Bryant Chambers Apartment Building (36 College Avenue, Somerville).

Together, these irreplaceable assets occupy prime transit-oriented locations with strong demographics, limited new supply, and sustained tenant demand. The portfolio offers stable cash flow, diversified income streams, and long-term appreciation potential backed by exceptional locations and significant barriers to entry.
