EcoDevelopments partners on Boston adaptive reuse
EcoDevelopments LLC has been retained to consult on the Lawrence Ecovillage project, a proposed adaptive reuse of 130,000 square feet of a historic brick textile mill building in the Boston area. The project will maintain and upgrade the exterior brick and will build out 100 one- to four-bedroom homes including 25 artist live/work spaces. The proposed ecovillage is adjacent to a new $21 million MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) train station allowing the community members to commute into Boston without needing to own a car.

A "visioning" workshop is scheduled for February 3rd for owners-to-be in the newly-established EV@JP cohousing community. The workshop, presented by Kraus-Fitch Architects of Amherst MA, is specially designed to enable participants to better integrate with Ecodevelopments staff in the design and planning of the mixed-use project.
