Interior Finishing Underway at Treadmark 2.0 in Dorchester

Interior finishing is underway for the 83 residential units coming to Dorchester Avenue across from Ashmont Station. Treadmark 2.0 is expected to open in November 2018 after a fire destroyed the project last summer prior to initial opening. Of the 83 units, 51 are designated as affordable rentals and 32 will be condos. The ground floor of the project will include a 5,000 sf commercial space to feature specialty food market, American Provisions.

The Treadmark in Dorchester has once again reached its full height of six stories after a fire last year forced the demolition of most of the original wood framing.  Exterior work now continues on the 83 unit project. Directly across from the Ashmont, MBTA Station, the development will include a common roof deck, underground parking, and around 5,000 square-feet of ground floor retail.

LM Heavy Civil Construction has also begun digging up existing utilities on site. Cranshaw Construction is the project's general contractor.

The Ashmont TOD2 team secured financing for the project earlier this year, as reported by The Dorchester Reporter. The team hopes to open the building to residents in 2017.

Ashmont TOD2 fully approved for construction

On March 10th, 2015, Ashmont TOD2 was approved by the City of Boston's Zoning Board of Appeals. Ashmont TOD2 was approved by the Boston Redevelopment Authority on February 26th, 2015 and will be built on the site of the existing Ashmont Tire facility. Ashmont Tire is located across Dorchester Avenue from the Ashmont MBTA Red Line station in Dorchester's Ashmont neighborhood. Having received all necessary approvals, Ashmont TOD2 is now ready to move forward with construction.
