$100 million-plus project will create 210 units of low-income housing, many for the formerly homeless.

Cambridge-based PCA has completed Arthaus, an art-focused residential development in the heart of Boston’s Allston neighborhood. According to PCA principal Dave Snell, Arthaus was fully leased prior to completion.

Bruce A. Percelay is chairman and founder of Mount Vernon Company, a real estate investment and development firm known for improving communities and investing in sustainable, award-winning design. PCA and Mount Vernon Company have worked together on mixed use, residential and hospitality projects totaling more than 750,000 square feet over the past decade. The latest collaboration is Arthaus, a five-story residence with 74 apartments and a separate four-story building with nine condominiums.

Bruce A. Percelay has been presented with the 2020 Jack Connors, Jr. Award for Excellence in Philanthropy. The award, named in honor of Mass General Brigham Chair Emeritus Jack Connors, is given each year to two honorees for their contributions to Mass General Brigham hospitals.

To celebrate the reopening hospital staff enjoyed ice cream served by hospital President and CEO, Gary Shaw, and Bruce Percelay, major hospital supporter and head of the hospital’s capital campaign.
