The Carruth
Dorchester, MA
The Carruth is a transit-oriented development that involved the construction of 116 units of mixed-income housing and approximately 10,000 square feet of neighborhood retail on a site directly adjacent to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Ashmont Peabody Square Station in the heart of historic Peabody Square. The development parcel is the subject of a long-term ground lease between Trinity and the MBTA. The building is a six-story structure, with one floor dedicated to neighborhood retail and five stories of housing. Floors 2–4 contain 74 affordable rental units, and floors 5 and 6 house 42 market-rate condominiums. Construction began in August 2006 and occurred in unison with the MBTA's complete reconstruction of the adjacent Ashmont Peabody Square Station.
