Brookley Flats will offer 45 affordable homes, including integrated workspace units for artists in Jamaica Plain. Developer JGE Architecture + Design said in a press release that the building is the “largest affordable homeownership development built and occupied in Boston to date.” The project was developed via partnership between Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corp., Causeway Development and JGE Architecture + Design and replaced a former industrial site with a four-story sustainable residential building.

Amenities include a shared roof deck, gallery space, bicycle storage and 19-space stacker garage.

“Brookley Flats reflects our commitment to creating housing that goes beyond function to foster community, identity and opportunity,” said JGE President Jonathan Garland. “By integrating artist live/workspaces and shared amenities into a high-performance building, we were able to create a place that not only meets Boston’s housing needs but also celebrates the character and creativity of Jamaica Plain.”
