The Malden Redevelopment Authority
Created by state Statute, the Malden Redevelopment Authority was established on October 8, 1958. On behalf of the City of Malden, the agency administers the federal Community Development Block Grant program, oversees development in urban renewal areas, administers low-interest loan and mortgage programs for owners of residential and commercial properties, manages many public works improvement projects and oversees the off-street parking program in the downtown.
The MRA is also the representitive member of the North Suburban Consortium and administrers federal home funding which aids in affordable housing and development.

The MRA, in conjunction with the Mayor's Office, is redeveloping the formerly vacant Sacred Hearts Convent in order to create affordable places for artists to live and work in downtown Malden. Close to the Orange Line T, and with a new gallery and roof-deck, the Irving Street Studios are setting the bar high as Malden's First Artist Building!
Units are scheduled to be completed May 1st, 2009. To apply, and see the units, contact the MRA at 781-324-5720, or email thahnel@maldenredevelopment.com
