Creating a Vibrant Mixed-Income Residential Community in Charlestown
In 2015, JJC was designated to redevelop the Boston Housing Authority’s Bunker Hill Apartments, the largest federal public housing site in New England, into a mixed-income, mixed-use community. In 2018, JJC and BHA selected Leggat McCall Properties as co-developer. The project consists of the phased demolition of the existing BHA Bunker Hill Public Housing development and the construction of a multi-phase, mixed-use development comprised of up to fifteen (15) new residential buildings ranging in height from four to ten stories, which shall include up to 2,699 residential units, of which at least 1,000 will be direct BHA replacement units.
