REVERE, MA Helge-Gansett hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction on SORA Revere. Located at 93 Bennington St., SORA is a 7-story, 114-unit living community, designed to work within this transformative neighborhood. SORA is a transit-oriented project that aligns with the vision of the city as a top tier living destination. Construction is expected to be completed during the fall of 2024. Helge-Gansett is a joint venture between Helge Capital and Gansett Ventures.
SORA Revere was designed by Embarc Design and Rubicon is the general contractor.
SORA is near Revere Beach and the Beachmont MBTA station, a 5-minute drive to Logan International Airport, and a train ride into Downtown Boston. SORA will have ground floor retail space, first-class amenities, and views.
“I have had a personal connection to Revere since 1991 and the positive evolution of this great community means a lot to me,” said Oleg Uritsky, founder & CEO of Helge Capital. “SORA represents our vision of Revere as a highly desirable place to live for families and individuals.”
“We are excited to deepen our commitment to, and partnership with, the City of Revere, and SORA is a great step in that direction,” said Caleb Manchester, president & CEO of Gansett Ventures. “The project revitalizes a long vacant and underutilized site, and will add employment, drive economic growth, and increase transit-oriented housing availability in the city.”
