Senior Housing Project Breaks Ground
The East Boston Community Development Corporation (CDC) has broken ground on the Grace Apartments project at 187 Sumner St., a 39,067 square-foot, seven-story building providing 42 income-restricted units for low-income seniors. Adjacent to the historic Woodbury Apartments, the project also includes renovating 17 existing income-restricted units, converting them into workforce housing. Designed to address Boston’s growing need for affordable housing, the development supports city and state goals to prevent displacement and enhance housing opportunities for vulnerable residents. Featuring a community room, offices, and accessible facilities, the project highlights the CDC’s long-term commitment to senior and workforce housing in East Boston, where demand remains high.
