Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) has initiated construction on its latest 340-unit luxury multifamily residence, Alexan, in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, US.  

TCR is taking on dual roles as both developer and general contractor for this project. 

TCR Northeast Division managing director Andy Huntoon said: “We are incredibly excited to break ground on Alexan Chelmsford.  

“This community will provide future residents with an unmatched residential experience within a country setting and will be an attractive option for residents in the area. This development is a continuation of our company’s efforts to meet Greater Boston’s housing demand.” 

Located at 255 Princeton Street, the development intends to transform the former UMass Lowell West Campus into a 32-acre residential community.  

It will have four-storey, elevator-serviced buildings featuring a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units.  

It will also offer three-bedroom townhome units with premium finishes and integrated garages. 

These homes will include stainless steel appliances, wood-style plank flooring, in-unit washers and dryers, and spacious walk-in closets. 

The community will provide on-site amenities, including a resort-style pool, outdoor courtyards, grilling stations, and a fitness facility, among others.

The Alexan Chelmsford community is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025. 

The latest announcement follows the ground-breaking of luxury multifamily residence Alexan Peabody, also in Massachusetts, earlier this year. 

With the addition of Alexan Chelmsford, TCR's Northeast apartment portfolio now comprises approximately 2,000 apartment units at various stages of development.
