City, state and federal officials joined residents of the Mary Ellen McCormack public housing complex in South Boston to mark the start of WinnCompanies’ redevelopment of the historic community. Ground was broken on the first phase of construction for the 3,300-unit mixed-income and mixed-use project.
Known as Building A, the 112,000-square-foot structure will provide 94 apartments for low-income families currently living at the Mary Ellen McCormack community when it is ready for occupancy in fall 2026. The project also features the first-ever underground geothermal heating and cooling system installed by WinnCompanies and the Boston Housing Authority.
In addition to the $62-million apartment building, construction of Building A features $8 million in public infrastructure improvements. They include a new Veterans Park with an accessible tot lot and splash pad, two-way, separated bike lane, reconfigured public streets and associated intersections with pedestrian enhancements, new street trees, planting areas and pedestrian zones.
