Plan Nubian: 2147-2163 Washington Street

2147-2149 and 2159-2163 Washington Street includes 2 parcels and totals 19,884 sq. ft in the Nubian Square section of Roxbury. These parcels, and 3 other sites -- 40-50 Warren Street, 75-81 Dudley Street, and 135 Dudley Street -- have been made available for development as part of PLAN: Dudley. After an extensive public planning process, a development Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in July 2018, outlining a primary use of a combination of retail, cultural and/or entertainment uses at the base of the building, and upper levels of residential uses. A joint venture between DREAM Development and New Atlantic Development was tentatively designated as the developer of this site in the summer of 2019. The team's proposal includes a mix of rental residential units, all of which will be affordable at a range of incomes, and a mix of income-restricted and market-rate homeownership residential units. The building will also include studio space for artists, a publicly accessible courtyard, and a new street-front cafe for Haley House, which is playing an active role in the design and development of the project.
