What: The Eastwalk
Where: Braintree
Owner: WinnDevelopment and Arch Communities
Built: 2025-2026
Boston-based WinnDevelopment and Arch Communities of Needham have broken ground on The Eastwalk, a $47 million mixed-income community near the MBTA’s Weymouth Landing/East Braintree commuter rail station.
Located on a former Braintree Electric Light Department-owned property, The Eastwalk will include a new pedestrian path along the Monatiquot River and improvements to the existing seawall. The project will contain 56 apartments, including 30 reserved for households earning up to 60 percent of area median income.
The project received $4.8 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, along with state and federal low-income tax credits and housing stabilization funds awarded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. MassHousing is the permanent lender and provided funding through its workforce housing program.
Webster Bank provided $28.1 million in construction financing. The general contractor is Canton-based Keith Construction.
They Said It:
“Braintree town officials and planners have been unwavering in their pursuit of a development that would not only provide quality apartment homes for a range of households, but also create a community asset for the neighborhood.”
— Adam Stein, executive vice president, WinnDevelopment
