NeighborWorks holds ground breaking at 1200 Montello St. project in Brockton, MA
“Brockton, MA NeighborWorks Housing Solutions held a groundbreaking celebration at 1200 Montello St., the future home of the Brockton South Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
The transformative mixed-use, mixed-income rental development, located adjacent to the Brockton Campello Commuter Rail Station, will encompass 94 units of affordable housing and ground-floor neighborhood-level retail in one of the Commonwealth’s critically important Gateway Cities.”
“Utile is working with NeighborWorks, a non-profit committed to community development and affordable housing, to restore this currently vacant historic property directly adjacent to Sycamore on Main. Built circa 1907, the hotel is emblematic of Brockton’s growth and prosperity during the early 20th century and one of the city’s few remaining examples of Renaissance Revival architecture. The 20,000 square foot, three-story building will provide retail and amenity space on the ground floor and 16 affordable housing units on the second and third floors. With the help of federal rehabilitation tax credits, this project will provide much needed low-income housing to the area and help revitalize downtown Brockton.”

Brockton combined public safety complex u/c, 2025.
“Both the Brockton Police Station and Fire Station #1 were deemed functionally obsolete and needed substantial rehabilitation. The City of Brockton approved a combined modern public safety campus including a joint Emergency Services Dispatch Center, Brockton Emergency Management Agency, and the City’s IT Department.
The campus represents an ideal and comprehensive co-location of related public safety services given today’s increased risks of physical and technological vulnerability to the continuity of service in urban settings. However, these entities and departments face unique operational needs, threats, and hazards. Careful, insightful assessments and planning for security mitigation measures are being developed as part of the design process to create an environment ideally configured for efficient service to the community and safe incident response.”
