The Parcels are known as Parcel 41, Parcel 42, and the Retail Parcel. Parcels 41 and 42 are for sale and the Retail Parcel will be offered under an 85-year lease. The Jackson Square neighborhood has recently undergone comprehensive planning initiative with the cooperation of the BRA, MBTA, and other agencies. The initiative resulted in redevelopment guidelines that involve the Jackson Square Station and adjacent MBTA properties. The redevelopment guidelines respond to the Transit Oriented Development (“TOD”) opportunities associated with the Jackson Square Station. TOD is compact, walkable development centered around transit facilities. These developments generally include a mix of uses that incorporate housing, retail and employment uses that maximize pedestrian and public transportation opportunities. The Jackson Square Development Priorities focused on quality affordable housing, multi-service community center, new small and medium commercial development as well as effective use of public transit facilities that do not encourage added traffic. Parcels 41, 42 and the Retail parcel were not originally part of these planning efforts but are located in the planning area and are viewed by the MBTA as supporting parcels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forest Hills (TOD)Location
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mattapan Station (TOD)Property Description The MBTA anticipates offering an attractive opportunity for Transportation Oriented Development (TOD) at the newly renovated Mattapan Station near Mattapan Square in Boston by Spring of 2009. The site available for development consists of approximately 2.3 acres of land, currently used for MBTA parking. The site contains excellent vehicular access from River Street as well as by public transit and bus services directly at the Station, and has recently been rezoned favorably for re-development. The Mattapan Station has recently undergone over $10 million in renovations including, station and platform improvements, bus circulation improvements and a new MBTA Police substation on the premises. The new development will need to provide a parking management plan for at least 100 public parking spaces acceptable to the MBTA, and continue to incorporate the station's “Kiss and Ride”. The site offers the developer the opportunity relocate the existing busway to the City’s preferred location in the middle of the site as shown. Neighborhood and Planning The neighborhood around the Mattapan Station is predominantly a residential mix of single and multifamily houses and apartments. The MBTA continues to work with the community on the final steps of the Station renovations and re-development of the parking area. The plan calls for urban density of residential with mixed-use commercial uses. In addition to the TOD opportunities offered by proximity to the station, there are opportunities to strengthen pedestrian links from River Street onto the site and Station. There are also opportunities to link the development to the Neponset River open space on the (north) side of the station. Click here to download an aerial plan of the parcel.
