Egleston Square apartment complex construction near Orange Line

Developer Berkeley Investments has started construction on 3200 Washington in Egleston Square in the Jamaica Plain-Roxbury borderlands.

The 76-unit housing complex will include 73 apartments—19 studios, 11 one-bedrooms, 34 two-bedrooms, and nine three-bedrooms—with nine of those apartments as affordable.

It will also include a new triple-decker with a trio of three-bedroom condos for households earning 65 percent of the area’s median income. There will also be 3,800 square feet of ground-floor commercial space along Washington Street.

The RODE-designed complex is going up on the site of the old Economy Plumbing & Heating Supply Co., and is about a 10-minute jaunt from the Stony Brook stop on the Orange Line.

As for rents, market-rate units are expected to run from $2,000 to $3,950 monthly. Berkeley says that 3200 Washington is scheduled to open in early autumn 2018.
