Completion is anticipated in 2028.The project is sponsored by ODJ Dev. LLC, a collaboration among neighborhood-focused affordable housing developers Kevin Maguire of Oxbow Urban, Dariela Villon-Maga of DVM Consulting, and Jonathan C. Garland of JGE Development, LLC. JGE Architecture + Design is the architect and interior designer.Mission Hill Pathway will be built across several formerly vacant, city-owned parcels at the intersection of Parker and Terrace streets. Integrated into the site’s natural hillside, the 5-story development will combine affordable homeownership, community commercial space, structured parking and more than 50 percent public open space.“Beginning construction on Mission Hill Pathway represents an important milestone for the community and for everyone who has helped shape the project,” said Jonathan Garland, president and founder of JGE Development and JGE Architecture + Design. “This development reflects a shared commitment to expanding affordable homeownership while creating a sustainable, welcoming, and community-centered place that will contribute lasting value to the neighborhood.”Once complete, Mission Hill Pathway will include:48 affordable homeownership unitsApproximately 2,000sf of ground-floor commercial spaceInterior finishes designed to balance durability, functionality and everyday comfortA public park and community garden with 51 plots dedicated to urban agricultureEnergy-positive homes designed to produce more electricity than residents consume through energy-efficient systems and rooftop solar infrastructureStructured parking accessed from Terrace StreetThe architecture responds directly to the site’s steep topography, using the natural hillside to integrate the building into the surrounding neighborhood while creating connections among the housing, landscape and public spaces.More than half of the site will remain open space, including a public park, community garden and areas dedicated to urban agriculture. These features were shaped through an extensive public process focused on determining how the formerly vacant parcels could provide long-term benefits to both future residents and the broader Mission Hill community.“Mission Hill Pathway demonstrates how thoughtful infill development can increase housing opportunities while preserving meaningful space for the broader community,” said Andres Bernal, design principal at JGE Architecture + Design. “The architecture is shaped by the site itself, allowing us to balance density with an extensive network of open spaces. By integrating energy-positive design, rooftop solar infrastructure and more than 50 percent open space, we are establishing a model for development that is both environmentally responsible and deeply connected to its neighborhood.”The development’s energy-positive design will incorporate high-performance building systems and accommodations for rooftop solar panels, with the goal of generating more electricity than residents consume. The project also prioritizes long-term affordability and homeownership, creating opportunities for residents to establish roots and build equity in one of Boston’s most established neighborhoods.</div></body>
