SOMERVILLE, MA — Construction is now complete at Miscela, 24-story apartment building at Assembly Row that is Somerville's tallest residential tower.

The 500-unit complex sits across from the MBTA stop and is nearly 50 percent leased.

All homes at Miscela feature walk-in closets; some offer Juliet balconies, larger balconies or patios. Penthouses, located on floors 22-24, offer expansive views and larger floor plans, with ceilings extending up to 12 feet tall.

"The penthouse homes at Miscela offer a special living experience with broad city views of the Boston skyline, majestic Zakim Bridge and the Mystic River, alongside direct access to elevated amenities, including the 24th floor lookout," Mike Ennes, senior vice president at Federal Realty, said in a statement. "At the same time, a thoughtful mix of retail, dining, fitness studios and services give residents a sought-after neighborhood feel and community experience throughout Assembly Row."

The complex features a 24th-floor lookout with river views of Boston, a hidden "speakeasy" lounge and a courtyard swimming pool with cabanas, grills and lawn with a fire pit. The main resident lounge is a two-story loft style space with private cabins and a cozy fireplace, which creates an ideal destination for either a daytime "work-from-home" atmosphere or an evening "out-of-home" experience. The building has been designed to achieve a LEED Silver certification and highlights healthy living with a yoga deck, fitness center with turf zone for cross-functional fitness regimens, a spin studio and bike storage.

As a way to connect to the community, Miscela Gives Back is a program that facilitates giving opportunities for both team members and residents of Miscela to support organizations doing important work in Somerville and beyond.

The complex is one of the centerpieces of Assembly Row's Phase 3 expansion, which included CVS, Sephora, Warby Parker, sweetgreen and Shake Shack and other upcoming dining options.
