COPPERWORKS

Canton, MA

Ryan Associates developed the overall plan and landscape character of this successful Active Adult community. Copperworks features 224 units consisting of attached and detached town houses as well as condominium buildings.  The community is a network of walkable streets centered around a large Village Green, community center with indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, pool, gym, and library. In addition to the shared outdoor kitchen, large firepit patio space and library patio, residents also have a community garden area to gather in. 

Each ground floor unit was designed with a private patio space and unique planting to enhance the quality of life within this relatively dense community.  4 of the 5 condominium buildings have a shared roof terrace garden and outdoor kitchen area as well.

Copperworks is one of Thorndike’s several Active Adult condominium communities built on the principles of Smart Growth. Located in Canton, Massachusetts around the site of Paul Revere’s former copper foundry and steps from the Canton Junction Train Station, Copperworks offers one floor living in buildings serviced by elevators as well as duplex and single-family homes. The 224 condominium homes are complemented by a series of outdoor spaces, a clubhouse with fitness center and pool, as well as other outdoor amenities including roof decks and a river walk along the Neponset River.
