Construction is expected to start imminently on 48 Boylston Street, a 46-unit affordable housing development located in the heart of Chinatown. 48 Boylston Street will feature apartments on upper floors of the existing historic building, which will be fully renovated and restored. Residences will be rented to low and moderate-income households; 20 residences will be rented to formerly homeless individuals, and 26 apartments will be rented to households earning less than 30% of area median income (AMI).
48 Boylston Street will also include approximately 11,000 square feet of office space for project co-developer St. Francis House and 3,800 square feet of retail space. The $22.9 million project, developed by St. Francis House and the Planning Office for Urban Affairs, has been granted funding by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the City of Boston. The developers have been issued a permit by the City of Boston to construct the 48 Boylston Street development, allowing the project to proceed.
