Brighton-based B’nai B’rith Housing New England and the city of Newton have won the Urban Land Institute’s Jack Kemp Workforce Housing Models of Excellence Award.
The award was given for the successful creation of the mixed-income 33Comm housing development project, according to a statement. B’nai B’rith Housing will hold a reception at Newton City Hall on Dec. 6 and present the award to Newton Mayor Setti Warren, the Newton Board of Aldermen and the Newton Community Preservation Committee.
"We are proud of this accomplishment and are proud of the unique relationship that we built with the city and the community to achieve housing of this quality," said Susan Gittelman, B’nai B’rith Housing executive director.
The 33Comm housing development is located at 27-29 Commonwealth Ave. and 35 Commonwealth Ave. in Chestnut Hill, according to a statement. It includes 44 one- and two-bedroom condominium units with 88 on-site parking spaces.
The 33Comm residence complex was the first affordable-housing development in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Newton.
