Positioned at the base of a newly constructed affordable housing community in Cambridge’s Alewife neighborhood, this ground-floor retail opportunity is ideally suited for neighborhood-serving uses that benefit from a built-in residential customer base and strong proximity to transit.

Additional viable uses include medical or dental clinics, physical therapy, fitness or boutique wellness studios, salon/barber services, and other personal care operators.

The location also supports high-frequency service retail such as dry cleaning, pet services, or shipping/packaging centers, as well as community-focused uses like tutoring, educational services, or coworking/study spaces catering to a mix of commuters and work-from-home residents.
