housing

The project’s primary goal is the one-for-one replacement of all 1,016 existing units, where each household is guaranteed the right to return. They will be accompanied by the addition of over 2,000 middle-income and market-rate apartments, creating a diverse neighborhood accessible for those of varying economic levels.

When complete, the development will also feature a broad range of neighborhood amenities like small businesses and retail, open green space, and a Community of Opportunity Center complete with robust programming, where residents can go for job training, educational classes, senior services, and children’s’ activities.

Preliminary plans envision lush green spaces and recreational courts anchoring and connecting a safe, walkable and welcoming neighborhood. A central Town Square designed to host events and gather will be featured prominently on Old Colony Ave.

Affordable
Housing

All existing 1,016 units will be replaced with current residents guaranteed the right to return, with no rescreening. The project will also include a 100% affordable senior building with on-site services built in Phase One. All residential buildings will include minimum of 20% affordable replacement units, with unit finishes identical throughout the building.

Connectivity

A redesigned street grid adhering to Complete Streets guidelines includes enhanced pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connections. Wide, tree-lined, ADA-compliant sidewalks create a welcoming atmosphere for both travel and leisure.
