Mattapan Station Redevelopment

Boston Planning and Development Agency
Boston, Massachusetts

 The Mattapan Station Redevelopment Project is a 167,600-gross-square-foot (gsf) mixed-use, mixed-income residential, commercial, and retail development consisting of 135 residential units, 10,000 sf of commercial space, and 2,000 sf of community space, all served by eight on-street parking spaces and a 50-space surface parking lot. The development concept was crafted to respond to the expressed needs and goals of the Mattapan community and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) requirements. The Nuestra Comunidad Development Corporation has been a mainstay in the Mattapan neighborhood for over a decade, providing affordable housing opportunities and working with the neighborhood to provide community services. Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH)has a long track record of housing development and neighborhood transformation. They have joined forces to build upon what makes the Mattapan neighborhood so important – its diversity and the strength of its residents.

The Project was permitted under the Boston Planning and Development Agency’s (BPDA’s) Article 80 Large Project Review process. HSH provided grant assistance in obtaining a MassWorks grant for transportation safety improvements and updating utilities within the project area, site design, and permitting assistance.
