3521-3529 Washington Street - Jamaica Plain, MA

Jamaica Plain, MA Demolition work is well underway on the prefab metal buildings at the former Flanagan & Seaton Motor Car Company site at 3521-3529 Washington St. making way for 132 units of housing, 25,000 s/f of street level prime retail and a four-story self-storage building.

Phase one of the project will boast 25,000 s/f of prime, street level retail on Washington St. with parking, and will include 88 condominiums.  Phase two of the project will be a self-storage building, and will include a four-story townhouse row that will have 44 units.

The $80 million dollar development will have amenities including a community garden, a connector to/from the future SW Corridor Park Extension bike trail, which will pass through the back of the property, a community meeting space, and a community mural on a portion of the proposed self-storage building.  There will be outdoor patios and improved landscaping.

In addition to this major multiphase development, the Casey Overpass is being lowered, creating tree-lined bike paths and direct pedestrian access to the Washington St. Corridor.

The nearby Commons at Forest Hills is well underway with its 283 apartments, a further boon to the potential retail tenants at 3525 Washington St.  The site is within walking distance of two MBTA Stations (Forest Hills and Green St.). 

Powers & Company is leasing the 25,000 s/f of prime retail space with parking.  There will be a mix of restaurant, retail, services and medical.  For more information visit their website at powersandco.com.
