City gives green light to Garrison Trotter Phase II project

The Boston Redevelopment Authority and Department of Neighborhood development approved the development of 18 new residential units on vacant land on Harold and Crawford streets by Windale Development.

The project is the result of nearly one year of comprehensive neighborhood planning with the Garrison Trotter Neighborhood Association and is representative of the commitment by Mayor Martin Walsh, DND and the BRA to leverage City-owned property to create much needed mixed-income homeownership housing.

The sites will be developed as part of Mayor Walsh’s Neighborhood Homes Initiative, a product of Housing A Changing City: Boston 2030, the Walsh administration’s comprehensive housing plan. NHI uses City-owned land and funding as a resource to create affordable and mixed-income homeownership opportunities for a range of homebuyers. In turn, this project will feature 18 residential units, 12 of which will be designated as affordable.

Upon completion, the new homes will be priced to attract a mix of moderate, middle and market rate buyers. Prices for the new affordable homes will range from $250,000 – $400,000 and will be affordable to households with a combined income of $60,000 – $100,000. The affordable moderate and middle-income homes will have a 50-year resale restriction to provide affordability for future generations of homebuyers.
