Roxbury development

As Mayor Michelle Wu looks to speed up the development of affordable housing across the city, Roxbury residents are calling on the administration to pump the brakes.

Well before Boston’s building boom erupted, Elma Lewis Partners, LLC had been granted development rights for Parcel P-3. The imaginative plan was to construct housing, office and retail buildings along the now barren site that had been levelled in an earlier plan to extend Interstate 95 through Roxbury and the South End. That highway plan failed and the present P-3 Project under the management of Feldco Development is about to follow suit.
