New residential community Miscela at Assembly Row is now open - features 24-stories and 500-units

Somerville, MA Miscela, the newest residential community at Assembly Row, is now open and has a limited number of never-lived in apartments still available for occupancy. The 24-story, 500-unit tower features an outdoor pool with green space, cabanas and grills for stylish and inspired living.

Miscela is located across from the MBTA station at 485 Foley St. in one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods and puts residents at the front door of Assembly Row’s wide range of retail options, full-service and takeout dining, and entertainment venues. On the ground floor of the building, residents have direct access to favorite brands such as sweetgreen, lululemon, Warby Parker and Shake Shack.

All homes at Miscela have walk-in closets; some offer Juliet balconies, larger balconies or patios. Penthouses offer larger floorplans and up to 12’ ceilings. Assembly Row is bike and dog-friendly, and pets at Miscela can enjoy the Groom Room as well as the adjacent six-acre Baxter Park.

“With summer upon us, there is a unique opportunity at Miscela to occupy a never-lived in home with access to a brand-new pool and outdoor amenities,” said Mike Ennes, senior vice president at Federal Realty. “Assembly Row is a dynamic neighborhood with new retail, dining, fitness and services opening regularly and just in time for the good weather a full calendar of fun outdoor programming.”

With a wide range of desirable amenities and eclectic work from home spaces, Miscela emphasizes access to fresh air and healthy living. Features include a 24th-floor lookout with river views towards Boston, a hidden “speakeasy” lounge and a courtyard swimming pool with cabanas, grills and lawn with a fire pit. The main resident lounge is a two-story loft style space with private cabins and a cozy fireplace which creates an ideal destination for either a daytime “work-from-home” atmosphere or an evening “out-of-home” experience. The building has been designed to achieve a LEED Silver certification and highlights healthy living with a yoga deck, fitness center with turf zone for cross-functional fitness regimens, a spin studio and bike storage.
