Local Meal Service Feast & Fettle Delivers to Cambridge

Members of The Maggiore Companies and Arlington Town Officials gathered Thursday morning May 2 for the groundbreaking ceremony for Majestic Mill Brook, a mixed-use development consisting of 50 luxury condominiums and one ground-level retail space.
After working hand-in-hand with the town of Arlington to get this project approved for almost two years, The Maggiore Companies were thrilled to show their appreciation on Thursday. 
Designed by Winchester-based Harrison Mulhern Architects, the five-story condominium complex is being constructed on a 1-acre-plus site. Majestic Mill Brook will be comprised of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units, with 25% of the units designated as affordable for households earning at or below 80 percent of AMI (Area Median Income). 
&ldquo;Everyone who is here has contributed to getting this project to where we are today,&rdquo; says Matthew Maggiore, the president of Maggiore Companies. &ldquo;We have some folks here from the town, and it was a pleasure working with them through the whole permit approval process. Everyone here was a vital contributor to the project past, present, and future. We&rsquo;re really excited to kick this off. Paul is doing a great job with sales. We have several units under agreement at the moment and climbing.&rdquo; 
Majestic Mill Brook is redefining luxury living with 30 unique floor plan options. Select units will come with private decks, patios, and roof decks, and all units will have high-end contemporary finishes. With cutting-edge design and timeless elegance, Majestic Mill Brook offers a canvas for individuality and personal style.
&ldquo;We have a steady stream of visitors to our website, people logging in daily to receive updates, and just a huge growing fan club,&rdquo; says Paul Cirignano, Broker/Owner of The Synergy Group. &ldquo;Our job is made easy by working with consummate professionals like the Maggiore&rsquo;s. For many of the folks in this group including my sales team, our works just started. We&rsquo;re excited to be working with the attorneys, the designers, the sales staff, and everyone who made this project possible. We&rsquo;ve got the A team for this project.&rdquo;
Amenities at Majestic Mill Brook include a ground-level urban garden by Mill Brook, a second-floor 4,500-square-footcommunity terrace, a community rooftop deck, and a fitness center. Deeded resident parking in the secure ground-level parking garage including select spots with electric car charging ports.
The Majestic Mill Brook sales office is now open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11-2 PM or by private appointment. Interested buyers are urged to reach out to The Synergy Group directly to take advantage of pre-construction pricing. 
Majestic Mill Brook is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy by Fall 2025.
