The Boston Planning and Development Agency recently approved a project for 3 Aspinwall Road. The former Nelson Manor nursing home – vacant since the mid 1990’s – will be demolished to construct a four-story residential building with 34 home-ownership units. Four of these units will be income-restricted.
The project includes 29 on-site/off-street parking garage spaces and a bicycle storage area located within the basement-level of the building. There will also be approximately 7,800 square feet of open space as an amenity for residents.
3 Aspinwall Road provides a number of community benefits for the surrounding area, including $20,000 in funding for transit improvements along the Washington Street Corridor and $20,000 in funding for improvements to the Codman Square Park located at 360 Talbot Avenue.
