3371 Washington Street
The 3371 Washington project, a joint venture with Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation (JPNDC), involves the new construction of a five-story, 39-unit building on Washington Street in Jamaica Plain. The building will be home to 38 units set aside for low- and extremely-low income senior households. An additional unit will house a live-in manager - part of the robust supportive services that will be available to the residents. This Passive House building is being designed by Utile. The development team will continue to work with neighbors and community stakeholders on the design and programming of the project as we move through the public approvals and funding processes.

New Atlantic Submits Proposal for Zero Carbon Footprint Housing in Roxbury

New Atlantic Submits Proposal for Zero Carbon Footprint Housing in Roxbury

In response to an RFP issued by the Department of Neighborhood Development, New Atlantic is proposing a new 18-unit condominium project at 273-287 Highland Street in Roxbury. Working with Utile, the project architect, the proposed project will exceed all energy codes and will actually produce more energy on an annual basis than it consumes.

Named Highland Yard, the project is designed to be durable, energy-efficient, and resource-conserving. The building addresses the specific needs of Boston’s climate: it keeps heat in and cold temperatures out, lets the sunlight in during the winter, and promotes cross-ventilation and good shading during the summer. However, to surpass the target of net-zero energy, a climate-responsive design must take additional measures to optimize envelope performance, building systems efficiency, and renewable energy production.

For this reason, the project has adopted the guidelines of the PHIUS+ 2015 Passive House standard. By designing to this standard, heating and cooling demands will be kept so low that space conditioning systems can be kept simple and small, and overall operational energy use will be minimal. As a result, the building will be able to produce more energy than it consumes after the integration of a renewable solar photovoltaic system.
