Olmsted Village​

“The Notice of Project Change (NPC) for the Olmsted Village project proposes to make minor alterations to unit counts within individual buildings from the original approval resulting in a net increase of 21 additional units, reduce the overall parking count by approximately 2 parking spaces, and make adjustments to the affordability program resulting in an increase in the total number of units of affordable housing (as defined in Article 87 of the Code) from 197 to 226.

The Olmsted Village Project, as approved in February 2023 consists of six new buildings in three different housing communities: one six-story building containing approximately 127 affordable senior housing apartments with a community center, medical suite, and child care center on the ground floor (Brooke House); one four-story building containing approximately 60 affordable intergenerational apartments (Treehouse at Olmsted Village); one four-story building containing approximately 43 mixed-income family homeownership apartments (Russell House); two three-story buildings containing approximately eight market-rate family homeownership apartments; and one four-story building containing approximately 31 family mixed-income homeownership apartments fronting on Harvard Street.”
