Dellbrook JKS breaks ground on Landing 53 transit-oriented development

General Contractor Dellbrook JKS held an official groundbreaking ceremony last Friday (September 30th, 2016) for the Landing 53 transit-oriented development in Braintree. The $50 million Landing 53 project will construct a mixed-use building containing 172 residential rental apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail on a two-acre lot located next to the Weymouth Landing-East Braintree MBTA Commuter Rail station. Construction of Landing 53 began in April 2016, with completion anticipated in early 2018.

The Healthy Neighborhoods Equity Fund, a $30 million fund set up by the Massachusetts Housing investment Corporation (MHIC) and the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) to finance mixed-use TOD projects in communities undergoing transformation, provided $5 million in equity gap financing for Landing 53. “From good jobs, to new pedestrian walkways, to better access to public transit and more, this development will electrify the neighborhood and provide a perceptible spark to Braintree’s economy and community,” said CLF President Bradley Campbell in an official press release.

Concrete pouring is underway at Landing 53 to construct the building's foundation. The following are photographs from the Landing 53 groundbreaking ceremony, courtesy Dellbrook JKS:
