Mattapan Heights, Mattapan, Massachusetts
Mattapan Heights is a multi-phased comprehensive redevelopment project that is transforming the former 52-acre hospital campus in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston. Portions of the grand campus were abandoned for more than 20 years and the few remaining campus buildings were in an advanced state of disrepair.
Phase 1 commenced in November 2001 and was completed and occupied in March 2003. This first phase encompassed the rehabilitation of the Foley Building into 98 mixed-income elderly assisted and independent living units, and 18 units for Latina women in recovery and their children in the E Building.
Mattapan Heights Phase 2 was completed in late 2006 and consists of the rehabilitation of five historical buildings into 83 affordable family housing units.
Mattapan Heights Phases 3 and 4 were completed in February 2008 and created 73 affordable family housing units. Phases 3 and 4 included both new construction and historic restoration.
Phase 5A is expected to close and begin construction in December 2011. It will consist of a newly constructed building on the upper campus which will contain 60 affordable units. Construction on Phase 5A is anticipated to be completed in December 2012.
With the completion of the fifth phase of Mattapan Heights, more than 300 new units of mixed-income housing will have been created, eight historic hospital buildings saved from demolition and more than 27 acres of campus landscape reclaimed and restored.
