Roxbury, MA – NEI General Contracting and JANEY Construction have joined forces to combine experience, resources, capacity, and commitment to the community to provide a new standard of product delivery and process excellence for The Whittier Choice Neighborhoods project.
The partnership will also allow NEI and JANEY to fully embrace the Preservation of Affordable Housing’s (POAH’s) deep commitment to diversity and the community.
Originally built in the early 1950s, Whittier is currently home to 200 public housing families. Phase 1A of the redevelopment will involve the demolition and removal of the existing structures to make way for the new construction of 70 rental units and 16 townhomes within three buildings designed by The Architectural Team.
The plan for the mixed-income, mixed-use development also includes approximately 16,000sf of commercial recreational space and the creation of safer streets.
The Whittier Choice Neighborhoods initiative is a collaboration between the Boston Housing Authority, POAH, and the Madison Park Development Corporation to create a healthier, more vibrant environment for the community.
