PROJECT PROFILE

Old Colony Phase Six

Boston, MA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $83.4 million sixth phase of the Anne E. Lynch Homes at Old Colony redevelopment project. Originally built in 1940, the apartment complex was an 845-unit public housing community located in South Boston that served Boston's low-income residents. Old Colony Phase Six marks the final phase in the comprehensive redevelopment of the Old Colony public housing community. In total, the HIT has financed 847 out of 887 units of affordable housing over the project's six phases.
Old Colony Phase Six will add 89 apartments ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms for low-income individuals, families and seniors in the community. All units will be subject to income restrictions with set asides at 30% and 60% of area median income. In addition to the new affordable units, the development will include approximately 6,662 square feet of accessory community space that will be available for lease to local community service organizations that aim to improve the quality of life for community residents.
HIT ROLE The HIT will invest $22.35 million in MassHousing long-term, tax-exempt bonds for the development of Old Colony Phase Six. Under the Massachusetts Housing Initiative, launched in 2007, the HIT has financed 42 projects in the Commonwealth.
SOCIAL IMPACT All Old Colony residents will have access to health and educational opportunities at the Tierney Learning Center located across the street from the development. The project is also located half a mile from the Andrew Station on the MBTA Red Line. The development includes significant decarbonization and flood resiliency measures and is subject to numerous design measures required by the Boston Planning and Development Agency.
