Affordable Units, Public Library to Rise on City-Owned Parking Lot in Boston’s Chinatown
City and state officials joined the Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC) for the groundbreaking of the Parcel R-1 redevelopment at 55 Hudson Street in Boston’s Chinatown. The project will bring 110 affordable homes and a new permanent Chinatown branch of the Boston Public Library to the neighborhood on what was formerly a city-owned parking lot.
The 12-story, mixed-use building will include 66 affordable rental apartments and 44 affordable homeownership units, built above a two-story, 17,000-square-foot library. The library branch will be the neighborhood’s first in nearly 70 years.
“This project is more than new housing and a library, it’s an investment in the long-term stability of Chinatown,” said Sheila Dillon, Chief of Housing. “55 Hudson creates affordable homes for families at a range of incomes, while also adding a permanent space for learning and gathering.”
The project is part of Boston’s Housing with Public Assets initiative, which utilizes public land to deliver affordable housing paired with essential neighborhood resources.
