A six-story mixed-use tower featuring 40 apartments is replacing a one-story building at 26 Pearl St.
The project will change the skyline of Downtown near Concord St, replacing the facility that previously housed two local nonprofits, including Daniel's Table. Residents should expect utility work and street closures as the site transitions from a small footprint to a high-density complex.
Activity at 26 Pearl St has accelerated rapidly, with eight permits filed between April and June 2026. This follows a Planning Board approval from September 21, 2023. The recent filings focus on a coordinated utility grid overhaul and electrical system upgrades necessary to support a building of this size.
The new development will combine residential units with commercial space, moving away from the current single-story occupancy. This surge in permits is part of a larger infrastructure trend in the downtown core, which recently saw 28 permits filed across various nearby properties.
