Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced it has broken ground on Modera South Shore Marshfield, a contemporary garden-style community boasting a charming seaside-town locale. 

The community, which will feature 270 apartment homes, is located approximately midway between Boston and Cape Cod and within a quick commute of Marshfield’s various beaches. First move-ins are anticipated for fall 2025. 

“Marshfield features a prime coastal locale but a small inventory of Class A living options,” said Doug Arsham, senior managing director of development in Boston for Mill Creek Residential. “We’re eager to help address that demand and offer a product largely unique to the market. With an upgraded clubhouse, elevator access, spacious layouts and lofts in select units, we believe Modera South Shore Marshfield will quickly ascend to a best-in-class living option in the neighborhood.”

Additionally, a Roche Bros. supermarket is located less than a mile from the community along with several nearby breweries and dining options. 

“Modera South Shore Marshfield will offer a refined coastal living experience with commuter-friendly access for those who work in the city or regularly travel up and down the coast,” said Anand Boscha, vice president of development in Boston for Mill Creek Residential. “We believe the spacious home sizes, thoughtful architectural design and state-of-the-art in-home features will be exclusive in the market and will provide an attractive option to discerning renters.”

Modera South Shore Marshfield will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with a generous average size of 1,129 square feet. The community will feature various den, loft and townhome options, and homes will have private patios or balconies.

Residents will also have access to controlled-access garage parking, EV charging stations and additional storage options.  

Home interiors will feature nine-foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, wood plank-style flooring, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, soft-close cabinets, moveable kitchen islands, smart thermostats, controlled guest-access technology, walk-in closets and in-home washers and dryers. Bathrooms will include double vanities, tile shower surrounds and linen closets.
