BPDA approves 625 residential units

The Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) Board of Directors this month approved development projects in neighborhoods across the City of Boston, which will result in new residential units, economic development and jobs.

The projects approved this month will create an additional 625 residential units, 433 of which are income-restricted, representing nearly 70 percent of total units. Additionally, three fully-affordable projects moved forward in Chinatown, Brighton and Mattapan, making progress towards Mayor Martin J. Walsh’s goal of increasing affordable housing to support a strong middle-class. These projects will also create 845 construction jobs, 99 direct jobs and 451 indirect and induced jobs.

The Board voted to amend the Agency’s license agreement with Boston Waterboat Marina to allow for short-term docking, passenger loading and disembarking of seaplanes at Long Wharf for a one-year trial period.
