The newly-completed Michael E. Haynes Arms development in Roxbury includes 55 housing units and a new headquarters for Cruz Construction.
Named after the late Roxbury civil rights leader, the $83-million project enables Cruz Construction to combine its development, management, construction and relocation entities under one roof.
The housing portion of the 85,000-square-foot project includes an 80-percent affordable component.
The second phase of the project, known as One Waverly, will include 48 additional units of affordable and workforce housing and a cafe.
They Said It:
“Located on Warren, Clifford and Waverly Streets, the combined parcel allows a two-phase approach meeting both community needs as well as key housing goals championed by top officials in the city and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The result is a mixed-use, mixed-income approach that greatly enhances the neighborhood and streetscape.”
