Rockland Trust Provides Financing for Milford’s First 55+ Apartment Complex

Milford, MA – January 10, 2022 – Rockland Trust has provided financing to Middle School East LLC for the extensive renovation and build-out of Landmark Place, a 38-unit 55+ apartment building in Milford, MA. Landmark Place at 45 Main Street was the former Milford Middle East School which closed in 2016.

“We are very excited about this project. We feel it provides quality alternative housing to lifelong Milford residents. Also we hope that this project helps in the continued revitalization of the downtown area,” said Kevin Lobisser, Managing Partner at Lobisser and Ferreira Construction Corp.

Lobisser and Ferreira Construction Corp. is conducting a large-scale update of the 1920’s building. As part of the construction, the prior gymnasium will be torn down to make room for a four-story, 25,570 square foot expansion with an elevator. Once completed, the building will be 43,970 square feet and include a mix of 38 one- and two-bedroom units, on-site storage, a fitness center, and a community room. Landmark Place will be the first apartment complex built in Milford since 1970 and the town’s first 55+ housing option.

“It is always such a pleasure working with Kevin Lobisser, Joe Ferreira and their team,” said Darin Foster, Vice President and Commercial Loan Officer at Rockland Trust. “Developing housing options, such as those offered at Landmark Place, helps broaden Milford’s appeal and strengthens our overall community.” 

Landmark Place started construction in early 2021 and is expected to be completed by September 2022. The property offers a variety of apartment layouts to meet the demand of the 55+ customer base. The mix of 38-units include, 20 1-bed/1-bath, 11 2-bed/1-bath, and 7 2-bed/2-bath ranging from 810 square feet to 1,000 square feet.
