NOW ACCEPTING PRIORITY RESERVATION DEPOSITS FOR SHILLMAN HOUSE MARKET RENT APARTMENTS!
JCHE is building the Morton and Etta Shillman House on the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus in Framingham, a housing community for seniors of all backgrounds. Located at 49 Edmands Road, Shillman House on the Weinberg Campus will have easy access to stores, restaurants, and services in the desirable Nobscot Village area of Framingham.
Shillman House will be an active and supportive living community for independent seniors, with 150 one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens. Ninety (90) of the units will be reserved for low income seniors, and 60 units will be attractively priced for seniors with higher incomes. All tenants will have access to a broad range of programs and services that facilitate healthy aging (see Programs and Services). Dining services will also be available.. Nearby transportation provides access to the extensive retail and commercial businesses, as well as medical and social services available in the Framingham/Natick area.
The 18 month construction process for Shillman House began in January 2010. Click here to read about JCHE's award of federal stimulus funds to complete the financing for Shillman House.
Shillman House is named in honor of the parents of Dr. Bob Shillman, CEO and President of Cognex Corporation in Natick, MA, who, along with his wife Mao, made a generous contribution to JCHE so that seniors in the area could enjoy quality housing.
The Weinberg Campus is named in recognition of The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and the significant financial support it is providing for this development.
