The West Newton Armory affordable housing development will create 43 new units of inter-generational affordable rental housing at the former West Newton Armory site located at 1135-1137 Washington Street. The housing will be affordable to a variety of households with incomes up to sixty percent (60%) of the area median income (AMI), including a set aside for households with incomes up to thirty percent (30%) AMI. Our proposed design sensitively balances the competing commitments for historic preservation, affordable housing, and sustainability - both within the building envelope and by thoughtfully using open space to match our programmatic goals. The project boasts excellent transit access, with nearby bus stops and the West Newton commuter rail train station within walking distance. The rehabilitation of the historic headhouse of the armory will be coupled with new construction. The headhouse will host a community room, a public gallery showcasing the armory’s history, as well as office space. The new construction portion of the project will house 15 1-bedroom, 21 2-bedroom, and 7 3- bedroom apartments. The project will be 100% visitable and five units will be fully accessible HC units (4 of which will be enhanced CBH unit serving individuals with disabilities. This project meets or exceeds all the development objectives set forth by the City of Newton in its RFP for the development of the armory site, and we are honored and excited to be working with the City to bring this project to fruition. As of April 26, 2022, design is 50% complete. The construction documents completion timeline have not been identified.
