DiCamillo Associates LLC
720 Broadway, Somerville, Ma
The Developer:
DiCamillo Associates and our partners grew up in Somerville and graduated from Somerville High School. We have fond memories of walking the streets of Ball Square as children and remember the excitement and delight of visiting Lyndell’s Bakery for our treats – which is something we still enjoy to this day. Having the opportunity to reimagine the property that this iconic business resides in is a welcomed task for us.
The Team:
The Planning and Development team has been selected because of their commitment to excellence, collaboration, and community development. Each team member has many years of experience in bringing a community centered property to reality. Vance Architects is masterful in designing tasteful, modern structures that maintain feel of its historical surroundings.
The Property:
The property has a rich history with Lyndell’s Bakery being a landmark for Ball Square and for Somerville for 135 years. Lyndell’s will receive a new state-of-the-art facility so it can thrive into the next century, as well as adding much needed living space, which will provide up to 6 new low- income housing units that currently do not exist in the ball square area.
The Vision:
Our long history in Somerville, combined with our vision for a renewal of Ball Square, will add value to an already vibrant Somerville community. We love Somerville and have a deep sense of sentimental attachment to the Ball Square neighborhood. Our vision is to begin the renewal of the area with development of this property in hopes that others will do the same. It is time for an upgrade of Ball Square, while keeping its feel and history alive.
