This six-story, transit-oriented, mixed-use building was the first of the projects developed by Urban Spaces along the First Street Corridor. Comprised of 115 luxury apartment units and 3,800 SF of ground-level retail space (leased to Toscanini), Axiom was completed in June of 2015, leased up within months of completion, and sold to national multifamily REIT Aimco.
Located between the MBTA Kendall Square and Lechmere stations – a half-mile from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus – Axiom was built LEED Silver certifiable. The complex offers an extensive array of amenities, including a 24-hour, state-of-the-art fitness center; a landscaped courtyard with a grilling station, an outdoor fireplace lounge, and café seating; a resident social lounge with a wet bar and large screen TVs; and an underground parking garage that accommodates 90 vehicles. The complex has a Walk Score of 91 and a Bike Score of 98.
