Lawsuit Could Delay Large Scale Development on Morrissey Boulevard
A legal battle could put the brakes on a major housing development planned for Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester.
According to The Boston Globe, Boston-based developer Copper Mill has filed a lawsuit against two investment firms, POB Capital and Pactolus, alleging fraud and claiming they tried to cut the developer out of the project.
The proposed development at 75 Morrissey Boulevard includes two 18-story towers with 754 apartments. The project received city approval in August 2025.
Copper Mill claims the investment firms attempted to back out of a $67.5 million deal after realizing the property could be worth more with the development approvals in place.
The lawsuit seeks to enforce the original sale agreement and recover damages. The allegations have not been proven in court.
The legal dispute could mean significant delays for one of Dorchester’s largest proposed housing developments.
