Developers have finished work on Jackson Commons in Roxbury, making it the second building to be completed under the Jackson Square Redevelopment Master Plan.
Cambridge-based Prellwitz Chilinski Assoc. (PCA) worked closely with Urban Edge to design the renovation of Jackson Square’s 100 year-old Webb Manufacturing building, adding 37 mixed-income rental apartments as well as Urban Edge’s headquarters, a community learning center and retail space, all fully leased on opening day.
The Jackson Square Redevelopment Master Plan includes 360 units of housing and 80,000 square feet of retail, office space and community recreation facilities. Eight units are dedicated for homeless households, which will benefit from an on-site resource coordinator that will provide case management services to all building residents. Twenty-one units are dedicated for households below 60 percent of area median income (AMI), three below 80 percent AMI, and 5 below 110 percent AMI.
The Jackson Commons project is expected to receive a LEED Gold rating.
