The Boston Planning & Development Agency recently approved four new development projects, which will bring 242 residences to four Boston neighborhoods. Of those, 121 will be income-restricted. The projects are slated for the Roxbury, Fenway, Hyde Park and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods.
Additionally, the agency board voted to tentatively designate Habitat of Humanity of Greater Boston as the developer of an affordable housing project at 104 Walter St. in Roslindale. The BPDA also acquired 104-108 Walter St. in 2020 to create affordable housing and expand the Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild.
