Myth and Fact 33 <br />MYTH EIGHT FACTEIGHT <br />Rollins Square <br />Rollins Square, a mixed-use development in Boston’s South <br />End, is a truly mixed-income community that provides housing <br />for a wide spectrum of people in all income brackets. Twenty <br />percent of the overall units are reserved for people whose <br />income is 30 to 60 percent of the Boston area median income <br />(AMI), 40 percent are for-sale condominiums reserved for <br />working households with incomes 80 to 120 percent of the <br />AMI, and the remaining 40 percent are market-rate units sell- <br />ing for up to $750,000. The residences occupy two city blocks <br />and integrate seamlessly into the existing neighborhood. <br />The varying heights and diverse exterior materials give the <br />appearance that the development was constructed over <br />time. Rollins Square was developed by the Planning Office <br />for Urban Affairs, Inc., a nonprofit developer associated <br />with the Archdiocese of Boston. <br />PROFILE <br />Rollins Square effectively provides housing for <br />low-, moderate-, and high-income households <br />in one attractive development that is well <br />integrated into the existing community. <br />CBT/CHILDS <br />BERTMAN <br />TSECKARES <br />ARCHITECTS
