Rindge Commons North

Rindge Commons Rendering
Just A Start (JAS) is building two new buildings at 430-432 Rindge Avenue in North Cambridge. This two-phased project, called Rindge Commons, will create 101 affordable apartments. All units will be affordable to households earning under 80% AMI, with some being more deeply affordable. Additionally, JAS's development will provide community-wide benefits by addressing climate change mitigation and sustainability goals and enhancing the experience of pedestrians and cyclists along Alewife Brook Parkway and Rindge Avenue.

The first phase, Rindge Commons North, completed construction in Summer 2024. It includes 24 affordable one- and two-bedroom rental units, as well several floors of non-residential where JAS is consolidating its training and education programs into a centralized location. The City is also be leasing space to create three Pre-Kindergarten classrooms for children between ages three and five years old, providing much needed affordable early education for Cambridge’s working families. Rindge Commons North is located just steps away from the Alewife T-Station, and shares a site with JAS’s Rindge Tower Apartments.

The second phase of Rindge Commons will begin soon and will contain 77 affordable family-sized units.
The construction of Rindge Commons North development completed in Summer 2024. For more information on the project, please see: www.justastart.org/project/rindge-commons-north.
