Morton Station Village Construction Update

Our Morton Station Village project in Mattapan, in partnership with Caribbean Integration Community Development (CICD), reaches its halfway-through construction point. Morton Station Village will create 40 units of mixed-income, mixed-tenure housing on a long-vacant site across from the Morton Station train stop, along with green space which will include the Steven P. Odom serenity garden; this includes 28 rental apartments and 12 affordable homeownership units serving residents with income ranges from 30% Area Median Income (AMI) to 100% AMI. We expect to begin marketing units in Spring 2023, and look forward to welcoming residents later this year!
