Project Overview:
The Mary Ellen McCormack master plan will transform the oldest public housing development in New England into a modern, diverse, and thriving neighborhood where residents are the highest priority – not just through modern homes & open spaces, but through programs designed to create a better quality of life and the chance to pursue brighter futures.

Originally built in the 1930s, the existing South Boston complex is severely lacking in community space and modern amenities. A collaboration between the Boston Housing Authority, WinnCompanies, and the Mary Ellen McCormack community, Phase One will reimagine the site as a true mixed-income, inclusive community.
