New Atlantic Development

The RSMPOC has voted to support our joint proposal with DREAM Collaborative for the 2147 Washington Street parcel in Dudley Square. 2147 Washington will provide much-needed housing in Roxbury and will create economic opportunity for residents and the surrounding community by engaging with local businesses to foster creative entrepreneurship. The project will help re-establish Dudley Square as a vibrant cultural district and will further the community’s vision for development of the parcels.

The 6-story building will create an active live/work/play environment that encourages community engagement with daytime and evening activity. The ground floor of the building will include 7 individual work-only studio spaces as well as 1,224 sf of shared workspace, which fosters accessibility and equitable opportunity to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.

Haley House Bakery Café operations will be relocated to a higher-profile ground floor space on Washington Street, allowing them to significantly expand their operations.

A 1,413 sf flexible retail space on the ground floor will encourage programming and activities that allow residents to stay local to the Dudley Square area and will bring nighttime activity to the area and help activate the street.The building will include a total of 74 residential units with a wide range of affordability. 62 rental apartments will be available to households with incomes ranging from below 30% AMI to 80% AMI. 12 for-sale condos will be available at 80% AMI, 100% AMI, and market rate.
2147 Washington includes a total of 47 off-street parking spaces. Spaces will be made available to residential and commercial tenants as well as provide short term parking for retail and Haley House customers.

The team at New Atlantic is proud and excited to announce a new partnership with the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Dorchester to develop affordable rental homes on land adjacent to the Church on Humboldt Avenue and Waumbeck Streets. The project will involve the demolition of the dilapidated building located at 157 Humboldt Avenue and the new construction of approximately 20 homes to be set aside for individuals and families earning below 60% and 30% of area median income. The project will also include a Family Life Center, which will provide supportive services to the residents of the property as well as the community. The goals for this project include the design and construction of an attractive and sustainable building that adds to the stability and character of the neighborhood; providing resources and support for the ongoing and future success of the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church and its congregants; maximizing participation by local minority and women-owned businesses; and the inclusion of services to support the needs of the residents and community.
