The 1471 Blue Hill Avenue project represents an exciting revitalization of an underutilized and vacant property in Mattapan, Boston, MA. This development involves the construction of a new five-story, 49,900-square-foot residential building designed to provide high-quality, affordable housing while integrating community-focused amenities. The project consists of 41 affordable rental units and onsite parking for 12 vehicles.

The building will be constructed using a 4/1 configuration, with four levels of wood framing above a single level of structural steel. The first floor houses the amenity and community spaces, offering areas for social interaction and neighborhood activities, while residential units occupy floors two through five. The fifth floor also includes a small amenity kitchen and lounge, along with access to a roof terrace. Designed to achieve Passive House certification, the project incorporates advanced energy efficiency measures and sustainable construction techniques, ensuring reduced energy consumption and enhanced indoor comfort for residents. By transforming this vacant lot into a vibrant residential building, the project contributes to the economic and social revitalization of Mattapan.
