The Location
The North Essex Suburban apartment market continues to remain undersupplied, as only 68 new units are projected to come online in the second half of 2023. At a time where population growth within the TMA is expected to grow 1.5% to 81,432 residents by 2028, the current housing inventory will not be enough to meet the needs of future North Andover residents.
Limited New Supply
Few projects of scale have historically been approved and developed in the North Essex County submarket, due to rigorous zoning laws and a challenging permitting and approval process. This partnership provides an opportunity for a new entrant to build at an allowable density that is exceedingly rare in the North Essex suburban market.
Scarcity in High-Density Construction
North Andover has a highly affluent community due to the surplus of nearby employers, excellent school systems, and proximity to Boston. Within a 1-mile radius of the property, the current household income level is $86,527 and expected to grow to $91,931 within the next 5 years. Over 42% of current households earn over $100,000 annually, demonstrating the potential for high rent growth in the area.
Desirable Community with Growing Household Income
Transportation connections include easy access to Interstate 495 via the Ward Hill Connector at Exit 106, nearby access to State Highway 125, the on-site MVRTA bus stop that connects riders to the Haverhill Commuter Rail, and less than 10 minutes to the Lawrence and Bradford MBTA Commuter Rail Stations.
Strong Connectivity to Nearby Transportation
Located only 25 minutes from Boston and proximate to the employment corridors along Interstate 495 and Route 128, the site is well served by surrounding employment nodes. Notable employers along Interstate 495 and Route 128 collectively employ over 259,150 people. Additionally, the 3.8 million-square-foot logistics facility for Amazon, slated for completion in 2023, should bring in an estimated 1,500 new jobs. With an estimated total of 1,166,700 square feet of R&D space to deliver along Route 128 within the next year, sustained commercial growth has heightened the need for new housing outside of Boston’s core.

THE OFFERING
Berkadia Real Estate Advisors has been exclusively engaged to market the redevelopment of 1600 Osgood Street in North Andover, Massachusetts. The property is approximately 27 acres with an existing office complex featuring 386,095 square feet of office and high-tech space.
The property directly fronts the newly completed 3.8 million-square-foot Amazon distribution facility. The next phase of redevelopment will seek to take advantage of the unmet demand for new housing outside of Boston’s core, as professionals and families alike look for more affordable, commuter-friendly renting alternatives.
The site is well located only 25 miles north of Boston and benefits from its nearby access to major transportation arteries, which include Interstate 495, State Highway 125, and Route 128. North Andover is well regarded for its excellent school systems, high quality of life, low crime, and proximity to Boston, making it an ideal location for families and professionals to call home.
Given the nature of the existing improvements along with the density the subject site could support, a redevelopment featuring complementary mixed-uses would ideally be favorable for placemaking. With favorable supply and demand fundamentals and a highly affluent community, this rare opportunity can provide robust, risk-adjusted returns that are exceedingly rare in the current development landscape.
