Davis Malm Represents 263-269 Pleasant Street LLC in Permitting Litigation

Davis Malm represented developer 263-269 Pleasant Street LLC in connection with developing the first assisted living facility in Marblehead, MA. After the Marblehead Zoning Board initially denied permits, Paul Feldman and Shawn McCormack represented the client in an appeal to the Land Court. They successfully had the matter remanded to the Zoning Board for further consideration, resulting in permits being issued. Abutters opposing the project then filed appeals in the Lawrence Superior Court, which, after a six-day bench trial, upheld the issuance of the permits. Abutters further appealed, and the Appeal’s Court affirmed the Superior Court decision.

The $35 million project, to be built on approximately 4.5 acres located on Pleasant Street, includes developing an 87-unit assisted living and memory care housing facility called The Mariner that Northbridge Companies will manage.
