The Hamilton Company has finished the first phase of its $26 million renovation of the historic Longfellow Apartments at 1200 Massachusetts Avenue, Harvard Square. All 91 units in Phase 1 are now leased, and Phase 2 leasing began on October 1.
The project restores the building’s original façade, including muntin‑patterned windows, while adding modern HVAC, fire protection, electrical, plumbing, and full accessibility. It qualifies for state and federal historic tax credits.
Jameson Brown, Chairman and CEO, said the restoration preserves the building’s architectural significance and delivers a new living experience with high‑quality finishes and top amenities.
The complex offers studio, one‑, two‑ and three‑bedroom units (292–1,132 sq ft) and includes ground‑floor retail, two commercial spaces, and a restored private courtyard. Located just steps from Harvard Yard, residents enjoy nearby dining, shopping, culture, and public transit.
Amenities: keyless LATCH app access, bike storage, pet‑friendly policy, personal storage, 24‑hour emergency maintenance, secured package delivery, and easy MBTA access.
Leasing and applications are available through The Hamilton Company and Lease Labs at 1200massave.com.
