A large affordable housing project could be coming to Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood, courtesy of the Pine Street Inn homeless shelter.

The shelter, which also provides extensive services to the area’s homeless population as well as affordable housing, is partnering with The Community Builders on the 225-unit project planned for 3368 Washington St. The building will be designed by RODE Architects.

The new building will replace an existing Pine Street Inn warehouse/office building and proposes to create 225 income-restricted apartment homes, 140 of which would be housing units with support services for men and women moving out of homelessness. The design includes an estimated 18,000 square feet of the shelter’s office space on the ground floor and community space and amenities for residents. In addition, the plan offers approximately 60 vehicle parking spaces, 85 bicycle storage spaces and 13,400 square feet of outdoor space.

The development team is currently meeting with neighborhood associations, community leaders and city and state officials to share details of the proposed project and engage them in the community process. Additional public meetings will be announced after the project is formally filed with the city of Boston.

“This project represents a major step forward in our efforts to solve homelessness in Boston,” Pine Street President Lyndia Downie said in a statement. “The number of units in this building will allow us to scale up our housing to a new level, bringing us close to 1,000 units of supportive housing throughout Boston and in Brookline. With the average age of our tenants at 55, this will provide a safe, secure community as they grow older.”

“Our goal in Boston is simple: end chronic homelessness throughout our city,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement. “This proposal has the potential to get us even further to that goal, and Pine Street’s expertise and history of success in supportive housing means that these facilities would create opportunity for so many who need a helping hand. We’re looking forward to this project and its possibilities as we work together to make sure every Bostonian has a safe, supportive home.”

“We are honored to work with Pine Street Inn to develop this level of permanent supportive housing,” TCB Regional Vice President of Development in New England Andy Waxman said in a statement. “In addition to serving formerly homeless individuals, this building will also create a place where people who work in Boston as teachers, firefighters and hairdressers struggle to find apartments they can afford. This development helps ensure more people who help our city run can afford to live here too.”

The building will be designed in accordance with the Boston Green Building Regulations and work within the framework of the recently adopted Compact Living Guidelines from the Boston Planning & Development Agency.
