The Parcel 24 project will create 362 units of new housing and restore the urban fabric and vibrancy of the Hudson Street neighborhood that existed nearly half a century ago.Governor Patrick, Mayor Menino, partners, and community members were present at the funding announcement on October 17, 2011. Parcel 24 is a joint venture between ACDC and New Boston Fund, a privately owned real estate investment manager and an industry leader in providing real estate investment, development and management services. The design of Parcel 24 responds to the Hudson Street for Chinatown Coalition's vision. Affordable rent and ownership units for low- and moderate-income households account for 40% of all units. Design elements include lushly planted green space, community space, ground floor retail, and underground parking. All of these aspects are incorporated into a neighborhood-sensitive sustainable design.
