For more than 30 years, Cambridge-based Oaktree Development (and its predecessor, Unihab) has developed multi-family housing especially designed for the tastes and pocketbooks of New England's discerning market. Our buyers particularly appreciate urban living with its "walk-to, car-free" possibilities.
Oaktree's development properties now comprise more than 1,000 homes, primarily in Cambridge, MA and the metropolitan Boston area. These residential communities stand above other urban condominiums and apartment developments, remaining highly valued residential real estate. As the need for a convenience-enhanced, space-trimmed, urban lifestyle has grown, the resale of an Oaktree (and Unihab) condominium has appreciated far more than the surrounding market. The underlying vision for our work has always been practical, aesthetically pleasing and in tune with market-place realities.
Oaktree has developed a form of housing that may be distinguished with a unique mix of design assets that are often described as "luxury," but always “practical.” Oaktree’s integrally bundled amenities fall into three areas:
- “Smart” technology built into each project and capable of satisfying the rapidly changing lifestyle and of the internet world. Currently Oaktree is working to incorporate an assortment of "virtual concierge" services into its new buildings (customized to the particular site).
- High performance design and construction principles resulting in “green” buildings that are elegant, energy-conserving and healthy; Oaktree participates in Energy Star and other resource conserving programs.
- Community enhancing urban design, common areas and built-in amenities for each residence, which might include a fitness room, common social room and pleasingly landscaped common "green" or terrace. Well-designed community assets result in more enjoyment in living, and the market responds positively.
