Assembly Row Hosts 'Somerville First Look' & Weekend Hiring Event for Retailers

As Federal Realty Investment Trust nears its one year anniversary of Assembly Row with nearly 1,300 jobs already created, retailers are looking for more than 100 new employees in various retail and restaurant positions.

“We are excited that we can be a resource for many local job seekers,” Andrea Simpson, Director of Marketing at Federal Realty Investment Trust at Assembly Row. “Our continued partnerships with local hiring programs and The City of Somerville allows us to match top candidates with available positions within the neighborhood and focus on job creation.”

Since February 2014, Federal Realty Investment Trust has held several job fairs and hosted thousands of seekers connecting them directly with hiring managers and filling the nearly 1,300 jobs created at Assembly Row to date.
