SITTING IN Investing in Granada Highlands and Malden

  As a third generation Bostonian, I like to think I know this area well, and I have long looked at Malden as full of potential. The city’s easy accessibility to Boston, unique urban center, and relatively low overhead costs, made it an ideal place for Metropolitan Properties of America to invest. A little more than six years ago we purchased one of Malden’s largest residential communities, Granada Highlands, because of the upside we saw here.
