Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

These articles are silly until the City allows black developers to build infill and towers near Nubian (they resist it tooth and claw) and until they allow market rate housing there in volume, which is needed to have residents who can spend there

Boston is unfortunately in love with its only black developer who can’t build anything and won’t build anything and never will build anything.

3/8


4-18 Cheney Street (48 units)








69-71 Proctor Street (Roxbury Preparatory Charter School)








373 Northampton Street (aka 577-599 Columbus Avenue - 47 units)








1 Taber Street (40 units)






273 Highland Street (23 units)








1149-1155 Harrison Avenue (10 units)








Nathan Hale School Playground Renovation






60-62 Lambert Street (new building)

 
The 1149-55 Harrison Building is pretty crazy. 3 stories, surface parking, well below even the city's paltry density limits. Wondering what the story is here...exactly 10 units doesn't buy you relief, nor does limiting yourself to 3 stories?

The price points for the remaining units here are actually surprisingly low? There's a 2BR/1BA on the market for $525K, and it includes a balcony. This is a pretty good location, within 5-10 minute walk of the Columbus Ave busway, the Orange Line, and Franklin Park.
