US2 and the city of Somerville break ground on $2 billion project - working with Gilbane Building Company and Cranshaw Construction
Somerville, MA The city’s most historic neighborhood, Union Sq., has embarked on a momentous transformation and readies for an economic revival of great proportions as US2, together with the city and mayor Joseph Curtatone, break ground on USQ, a $2 billion, 15-acre mixed-use, transit-oriented development that has been decades in the making. USQ will become the newest destination within the Boston-Cambridge innovation economy while simultaneously expanding the neighborhood’s residential community. The 2.4 million s/f development is central to the city’s growth plans, delivering on the community-led “SomerVision” plan by increasing jobs, housing, open space and transit. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Somerville Redevelopment Authority and is part of a M.G.L. Chapter 121B Urban Renewal Plan (i.e., the Union Square Revitalization Plan).
