Massport officials have selected five finalists to develop the first mixed-income housing complex built on its Seaport District real estate.
The teams, selected by the agency’s board of directors on Thursday, will submit formal proposals in anticipation of a selection this fall, Massport spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan said.
The five teams moving ahead to the next round, according to Massport:
- Beacon Communities and RISE Together
- Community Builders and the Menkiti Group
- Preservation of Affordable Housing and DREAM Development
- Trinity Financial and the South Boston Neighborhood Development Corp.
- Winn Companies and Catalyst Ventures Development
The agency will issue a request for proposals in July, Mehigan said.
In December, the agency announced its 0.6-acre parcel on D Street would be dedicated to a mixed-income project. The parcel, known as parcel D-4 and located next to Massport’s 1,500-space garage and transportation center, can accommodate approximately 200 housing units and an 18-story building.
The agency sought proposals that include a range of units for households earning from 30 to 120 percent of area median income, either in the form of apartments, condominiums or a mixture. Development teams also will be evaluated based on their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
