Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

[Jeremi]

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.

Its great to see how much nubian is filling in. Been a long time coming.

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.

TDC Proposes Affordable Senior Housing at 151 Lenox Street in Lower Roxbury​

“Tenants’ Development Corporation (TDC), one of Boston’s oldest minority-led nonprofit housing developers, has submitted an Article 80E Small Project Review Application for 151 Lenox Street, a BPDA-owned parcel in Lower Roxbury. The proposal calls for a 7-story, 30,715-square-foot masonry building featuring 38 affordable senior rental apartments—6 studios and 32 one-bedrooms—all restricted to households earning at or below 60% of area median income (AMI). More than half the units will serve extremely low-income households, including four reserved for people experiencing homelessness, supported by state and federal rental subsidies.

The project will also provide a community room, laundry facilities, bike storage, and a management office to enhance resident engagement. Designed to meet Passive House certification along with LEED and Enterprise Green Communities standards, the development emphasizes energy efficiency, climate resilience, and healthier living for seniors in the South End and Lower Roxbury.”
