Project Overview

Two new vibrant fronts will be created as a part of the proposed plans – along Elm Street and a new ‘Civic Plaza’ to connect Elm St and Herbert St.

The project is consistent with the goals and vision of the Davis Square Plan.

  • Phase One is an adaptive reuse of the 58 Day St Building and 260 Elm Street “Connector”

  • Phase Two includes the reimagined Plaza and a new 4-story building, with setbacks on the 4th floor to create a roof top terrace for tenants to engage with the urban center.

A Vibrant New Civic Plaza

By creating a new 7,500 square foot civic plaza, the 7th Spoke project offers a number of community benefits.

  • Transforms an underutilized and unwelcoming pedestrian corridor into a dynamic urban plaza

  • Creates a new community hub for a variety of formal and events, including: arts, music, youth, community, etc.

  • Assures through design and programing that the space will be creatively activated year-round

  • Maximizes environmental benefits by collecting storm water and runoff, limiting heat island effects, etc.

  • Increases local and visitor foot traffic to adjacent businesses

  • Allows for meaningful connectivity between Herbert Street and the heart of Davis Square
