780 American Legion Highway

780 American Legion Highway Under Review

The proposed mixed-use project at 780 American Legion Highway in Roslindale is now under review. The project would include two new buildings: a behavioral and clinical health facility with 22 units of supported housing for youths who are aging out of the Commonwealth’s foster care system, and 93 housing units. The housing units would be a mix of workforce rental units, and owner-occupied townhouse condominium units. When complete, the overall development will provide a new state of the art replacement offices for the Home for Little Wanderers as well as expanded clinical facilities for the Dimock Street Neighborhood Health Center.

Plans call for the project to be built in phases over three to four years. The mixed-use clinical facility and affordable residences would be constructed first followed by relocating the existing HFLW building into the new clinical facility and the demolition and construction of the 93 new multi-family units. 

Mixed-use redevelopment proposed for Home for Little Wanderers property in Roslindale

Alinea Capital Partners proposes to redevelop the 2.58-acre Home for Little Wanderers property, located at 780 American Legion Highway in Roslindale, into two buildings containing housing, office space and a clinical health facility. A total of 120 apartment residences would be constructed, including 98 mixed-income units and 22 units of supported housing for youth aging out of the State’s foster care system. The development would also include new office space for the Home for Little Wanderers, and new clinical facilities for the Dimock Street Neighborhood Health Center. Alinea has filed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop the property with the City of Boston, starting the project’s official review process.
