Two new development projects in Mattapan and Mission Hill will bring more than 120 homeownership units to the area. 

The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved the projects at 156 Wellington Hill St. in Mattapan and 1558 Tremont St. in Mission Hill.

The Mattapan project will convert an existing building into a new four- to five-story building with 27 condominiums as well as more than 1,000 square feet of retail space. Four of the units will be income-restricted. Developed in line with the city’s PLAN: Mattapan XX, the project will allow residents opportunities to create generational wealth through homeowners, according to the BPDA.

The project will also bring area improvements, including improving the intersection of Greendale Road and Wellington Hill Street by expanding sidewalk space and creating shorter, more visible pedestrian crossings, as well as planting at least five new street trees. The expanded sidewalk space will create a plaza-like area in front of the retail area of the building. 

Project developers will also contribute $7,859 toward the city’s bikeshare program.

In Mission Hill, the project at 1558 Tremont St. is also a conversion, taking a three-story building and converting it into a six-story, multi-use building with 95 apartments and more than 3,000 square feet of first-floor retail space. 

The units will include 59 studios, 22 one-bedroom apartments and 14 two-bedroom apartments, 16 of which will be income-restricted.

The transit-oriented development is located close to the MBTA’s Green Line stops at Brigham Circle, Longwood Medical Area and Fenwood Road, as well as several bus routes. 

Area improvements induce new sidewalks, street trees and streetscape improvements. 

Project developers will also contribute $49,000 toward the city’s bikeshare program, and the development will include space for 15 bikes.
