Braintree, MA Tocci Construct, LLC has been selected by ZOM Living as construction manager for The Residences at South Shore Plaza, a new 325-unit multifamily community adjacent to South Shore Plaza.

The development will introduce a four-story residential building wrapped around a five-level precast parking garage, adding nearly 509,000 gross s/f of new construction to one of the region’s most established retail destinations.

The project includes a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with 33 units designated as affordable housing. Planned amenities include an outdoor pool, landscaped courtyards, clubrooms, fitness facilities, and co-working spaces.

Construction is scheduled to begin this year, with completion anticipated in 2029.

“We’re proud to partner with ZOM Living on a project of this scale and visibility,” said Marvin Lahoud, partner at Tocci. “The Residences at South Shore Plaza represents a meaningful addition to the Braintree community and a significant evolution of this retail corridor.”

The building will utilize light-frame wood construction with a limited podium structure and will incorporate coordinated preconstruction planning and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support efficient delivery.
