Project Updates
The Northland Newton Development (NND) is moving forward with major progress across the 23-acre site at the corner of Needham and Oak Streets. Designed as a walkable, inclusive, and sustainable community, NND continues to transform with construction milestones, community engagement, and new amenities taking shape.
What’s Happening On-Site
Construction is underway on the first 95-unit residential building.
Sitewide utility infrastructure and stormwater drainage systems are in place.
Initial roadway paving is complete across the development.
A new splash park was completed in June 2025 and is operated by the City of Newton. Adjacent to the Splash Park is a new community playground open to the public.

Splash Park Ribbon Cutting
In June 2025, we celebrated the grand opening of the splash park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside the City of Newton.
The park will be operated and maintained by the city and serves as a new recreational amenity for residents and the broader community.

Northland Secures Financing for NND
In January 2026, Northland officially began vertical construction at NND, supported by a $220 million loan from JPMorgan Chase.
Phase I will include 315 apartment homes across the historic Saco Pettee Mill and two new buildings, anchored by a one-acre Village Green designed as a new gathering space for the Newton community.
