Trinity Financial Files 900K SF Plans: A priority site identified by Boston officials to turn surplus property into mixed-income housing will include four apartment and condominium towers, a gymnasium and artist live-work units.
In November, the Boston Planning & Development Agency designated Trinity Financial to redevelop the 5.1-acre BPDA-owned property at 100-168 New Rutherford Ave. that has been used for Bunker Hill Community College parking.
Trinity kicked off permitting for the estimated $495 million project this week with its submission of a project notification form.
The Boston-based developer proposes four buildings designed by ICON Architecture and Klopfer Martin Design Group ranging from eight to 13 stories and totaling 900,000 square feet, including 700 apartments and condominiums, plus commercial space, amenities and an early childhood education center.
