Located on a previously vacant City-owned lot, the 49,000 sf Hearth at Four Corners serves individuals age 62 or older who have low or middle-income housing needs – providing them with safe, supportive, and affordable housing to age in place. Eight of the 54 units are reserved to house individuals previously dealing with homelessness and 11 units for clients of the Department of Mental Health. Residents have 24/7 access to on-site concierge services and a Resident Service Coordinator. A community space on the ground floor gives residents the opportunity to come together for social gatherings and an outdoor landscaped space provides a retreat. The building is located steps from the MBTA Fairmount line, providing an accessible transportation option to residents and visitors.

Hearth at Four Corners called for the highest standards of universal design throughout the new building to accommodate older adults of all abilities. The building was designed to meet LEED Silver, Energy Star, and Enterprise Green Community standards. DREAM was Design Architect and TAT was Architect of Record.
