New housing proposed at former Brighton monastery


The Boston Business Journal (BBJ) reports that Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CC&F) proposes to construct a 680­-unit, 610,000 square foot graduate student housing facility at the 11.6-acre former Saint Gabriel’s Monastery at 159­-201 Washington Street in Brighton. The proposed project would include four new residential buildings and renovation of the existing monastery building.


The new residential buildings would be three to seven stories tall. The project would be designed to accommodate over 4,100 residents. The renovated monastery building would house co­-working space, a cafe and the project’s leasing office. The project would include approximately 400 parking spaces.


No proposed timeframe for the project has been reported at this time. John Moriarty & Associates would be the project’s general contractor. The new buildings would be built using wood­-frame construction, a first for large­-scale unionized projects in Boston.
