New Life for Underutilized MBTA Parcel

The Loop at Mattapan Station is a $57M transit-oriented, Passive House certifiable development that transforms an underutilized MBTA parcel into a lively mixed-use, mixed-income community. Three exterior spaces are available for residents to enjoy: a pocket park with landscaped grounds, a sixth-floor deck, and a spacious outdoor patio seamlessly connected to the clubroom. The 171,000 square foot building is comprised of 135 units, with more than 11,000 square feet of ground floor retail, including The Daily Table, a nonprofit grocery store offering affordable, convenient, and healthy food choices. Designed for Preservation of Affordable Housing and Nuestra Comunidad Development Corporation in collaboration with Mass Design Group.

The program for this TOD is energized with family-centric amenities, including a resident lounge featuring colorful local artwork, a clubroom with an entertainment-sized kitchen, a light-filled gym, and a 2,000-square-foot flexible community room that converts into a half-court basketball play area.
