A housing development approved for Jamaica Plain will bring over 200 residential units to the area. The project was sanctioned at a recent meeting of the Boston Planning Department and BPDA Board.

An auto body shop, vehicle impoundment lot and Hatoff’s gas station currently occupy 3430 and 3440 Washington Street. The redevelopment will see the properties transformed into two multifamily residential buildings, one with 130 units across six floors and the other with 100 units across five floors. Plans include commercial space as well.

The project will meet LEED Gold Passive House standards and add wider sidewalks and trees along Washington Street, Rockvale Circle and Kenton Road.

Developer Boston Real Estate Capital projected that the development will create approximately 235 construction jobs and 17 permanent jobs related to property.
