What 47 New Homes Will Offer
The program includes 47 apartments- 35 are affordable homes, with 15 supported by project-based vouchers. Units range from studios to three-bedrooms, serving households between 30% and 100% AMI. Amenities include a fitness room, resident lounge, rooftop deck, landscaped open space, plus a balance of 18 parking spaces and 57 bike spaces.

What’s Next on the Timeline
247 Hancock is moving towards construction, with financing secured and demolition wrapped. Over the course of 2026, the building will take shape as the structure rises, the exterior comes together, and the amenities are built out. By early 2027, the vision becomes reality as families move in and Boston welcomes 47 new homes.
