About 6 Fort Street:

6 Fort Street is a 34-family rental residential development in Quincy, MA. The project will represent the adaptive re-use of a partially historic building in a transit-oriented, Downtown Quincy Center location. The program responds to the new Quincy Center Zoning District’s Design Guidelines, while remaining sensitive to the surrounding, smaller-scale commercial and residential neighborhood.

• Restoration of a predominantly vacant and neglected building into a vibrant residential community
• Creation of 34 new smart growth, transit-oriented rental  opportunities located near schools, retails services, and  public transportation
• Activation of Fort Street with ground floor community and commercial space
• Enhancement of the pedestrian environment along Fort Street through improved design of street-level facade
• Careful rehabilitation of an existing structure with a sustainable, green design

• Job creation for real estate industry
• Long-term investment in the local community through ACDC's continued ownership and community focused management of the property
