More Than 3,000 Boston Homes Under Construction

See what projects are going on in your neighborhood.

If you know someone who needs a home in Boston, the Boston Redevelopment may be able to help.

The agency oversaw groundbreakings on 1,000 new housing units in the last quarter of 2011, and is presently monitoring 3,360 under construction.

The 25 projects under way range from the small—like the six-unit Newbury Street property being constructed in cooperation with Centremark Properties—to the large—like the 500-unit Tremont Street development currently under construction by Winn Development in the South End.

“[In 2012], we broke ground on 26 projects, investing $2.4 billion in our city,” said Melina Schuler, a spokeswoman for the authority. “This includes numerous multifamily residential projects.”

In the last decade, Schuler said, the authority has built more than 20,000 new housing units, “that’s more than in any of the prior five decades.”

A quarter of those units were affordable, Schuler said. Since 2000, she said, Boston’s housing stock has grown by 8.2 percent.

In total, the authority is currently working with 23 developers across 12 of the city’s neighborhoods.
