150 Centre St. Project Description: 

As of October 3, 2023, Trinity Financial Development has amended their proposal to develop a 4-story building totaling 68,400 square feet in gross floor area on the site of the Fitzpatrick Auto Body Lot, between Centre St. and Sharp St. They now propose 72 units with 12 studios, 37 one-bedroom units, 21 two-bedroom units, and 2 three-bedroom units, all rentals. There will be an underground parking garage with 25 spaces, restricted for resident use only. The developer states that all units will be affordable at 30%, 50%, 60%, 80% and 120% AMI.

I am opposed to the Trinity Financial proposal. This building would be far larger than anything else in the area and is significantly out of scale for the neighborhood at 20x the size of the average triple-decker. The proposal will significantly increase vehicular traffic when compared to current conditions, creating over 300 additional new vehicle trips daily and resulting in traffic and safety issues on Centre St. and in the surrounding neighborhood. Finally the proposed project fails to protect the long-term residents of our community and new residents that will come, by not adequately addressing the very serious need for transit-oriented, truly affordable sustainable housing at Shawmut Station with a path to homeownership.
