The new two-building development includes ground-level retail space, a management office, a bicycle storage room, and a community room available to East Boston civic groups. Located one block from the MBTA Blue Line station at Maverick, the one-acre property offers a stunning view of downtown and pedestrian access to the Harborwalk. “This new development ensures that low income families can continue to have access to the East Boston waterfront and enjoy a better quality of life in new modern homes.” “These new homes will be an essential part of the East Boston neighborhood, securing Clippership’s affordable housing promise for the future,” said BHA Administrator Kate Bennett. The remaining 16 condos are being sold to buyers at market rates. Of the 30 new condominiums, 14 will be sold to middle-income homebuyers at subsidized prices. Original public housing households who previously lived at the Clippership property have returned to new modern apartments. “I am proud to be a part of powerful investment in the people and the community of East Boston.” Now those families are returning to newly constructed high quality modern living spaces,” said Mayor Janey. “The Clippership Apartments, housing 22 rental units, will be welcoming back many families who were living here before the development plans were fully realized. The $30 million Harborwalk development replaced 20 units of aging Boston Housing Authority public housing at Clippership Apartments with 22 deeply affordable modern apartment homes at Harbor125 Apartments and Harborwalk Residences, also featuring 30 condominiums available for sale to middle-income and market-rate households.
