State of Building in Boston: Projects Under Construction Citywide
Boston Redevelopment Authority overseeing the planning and construction of more than 250 projects.
Boston is building. And the Boston Redevelopment Authority has a full plate.
We recently took a look at housing units currently under construction in the city and found that the BRA is overseeing more than 3,000 homes on their way to market.
In total, the authority is dealing with 264 projects ranging from the “letter of intent” stage to the “construction recently completed” stage.
Today, we thought we would look at non-residential property. Right now, the authority reports, contractors are swinging hammers and stripping wires on a total of 30 projects with a non-residential component citywide—including the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown.
See the charts below to find out what else is going on in the city.

The fact that the Greater Boston area is building is a very encouraging sign for the economy and for local businesses. These projects are creating jobs and opportunities for new residents and small businesses. I'm a roofing contractor in Charlestown (www.olympicroofing.com/charlestown-ma-roofing), and we're pleased that this initiative has created some construction and roofing projects for us as well.
