1590 Blue Hill Avenue

About the Property

Transformative Mixed-Income Development Opportunity

Colliers has been exclusively retained to sell the 1590 Blue Hill Avenue, (“the Property or the Site”), a unique opportunity to acquire a 1.63-acre multifamily site in Boston’s Mattapan Square local business district. This transit-oriented development site can accommodate at least 165 mixed-income apartments in two buildings on a site that spans from Blue Hill Avenue to River Street.

The development opportunity benefits greatly from recently adopted PLAN Mattapan, a comprehensive Squares + Streets zoning district adopted by the Boston Planning & Development Agency in May 2023. The plan promotes development in Mattapan Square with a focus on affordable housing and access to green spaces. With a Walk Score of 83 and a Transit Score of 71, this site perfectly aligns with the city’s concept of a 10-minute neighborhood where essential services, retail, parks and transportation are no more than s 10-minute walk from any resident’s doorstep.

A large-scale, multi-phase residential development aligns perfectly with the city’s goals of expanding the supply of multifamily housing along major corridors such as Blue Hill Ave and focusing investment in Mattapan Square, an important economic and cultural hub for the neighborhood. The Property is currently occupied by a 28,698 SF single-story concrete building and paved parking lots for an auto service & tire business.
