Goldblock Redevelopment Project
|
36-120 Munroe Street
Lynn, Massachusetts Goldblock was a mixed-use development project located nine miles north of Boston in Lynn, Massachusetts. Between 1999 and 2004, Oasis Development Enterprises developed a strategically-located, two-acre parcel along Munroe Street on behalf of its investors, with the hope of being a catalyst in the redevelopment of the downtown Empowerment Zone. PHASE I – The renovation of the Tolman and Belkin buildings was completed in 2001 and sold to Munroe Partners LLC in 2010. The building currently houses The Daily Item, among other tenants. PHASE II – The renovation of the 35,000 sf Sherry Building (formerly the Goldberg Furniture store) into condominiums was completed in 2004, resulting in nineteen residential condos in the upper four floors and four office condominiums on the ground floor on the Munroe Street side. For more info., please see 'The Sherry Building'. PHASE III – The acquisition and demolition of the Tucker Building (former Lynn Hardware) in 2004 marked the final stage in preparing this 16,000 sf site for redevelopment. This site housed an urban garden tended by the Food Project. |

The Sherry Building consists of 35,000 square feet of commercial and residential space in a five-story brick structure which used to house the Goldberg Furniture Building. The property was land banked from 1995 to 2001, after which time Oasis began a major redevelopment of the building as part of Phase II of the Goldblock Redevelopment Project.
The ground floor was converted into four office condominiums while the upper four floors were developed into 19 residential one- and two-bedroom units, now known as the Sherry Block Condominiums. Like the Tolman and Belkin buildings, the Sherry building is exceptionally well located, just one block from the MBTA Commuter Rail station and within a two-block radius of groceries, laundry services, banks and restaurants. On-site parking is available to all condominium owners in a dedicated parking lot off Oxford Street. For more info contact Harvest Properties, the building’s manager. |
