A developer is proposing to redevelop a former Jamaica Plain monastery into a mixed-use development. 

Holland Properties filed a letter of intent with the Boston Planning & Development Agency on May 19.

Holland Properties is looking to rehab the existing 54,000-square-foot Franciscan Poor Clare Nuns’ monastery at 920 Centre St. in Jamaica Plain into a mix of 20 residential apartments, as well as a daycare, office space, a gym, event spaces and storage in the remaining 20,000 square feet.

The development will also include the construction of a Mass Timber building behind the existing monastery, which will house 90 condominiums, including inclusionary units, as well as 121 parking spaces. 

The 2.88-acre property located next to the Arnold Arboretum was home to the Poor Clare Nuns monastery, which was built in 1934-1936. Once home to 65 nuns, the remaining 10 sisters sold the property in 2022, after years of looking for a suitable place. The sale of the monastery was needed to make that move, the sisters said on their website. On May 19, the sisters announced they’re moving to a property located at 590 Gay St, in Westwood.
