About this home
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY OF THE YEAR IN CENTRAL JP. Attention builders, developers, and investors—rarely does a parcel of this magnitude become available in prime Jamaica Plain. Sited on a massive 13,263 SF lot with approx 109’ of street frontage, this property is an absolute dream. Located in a 2F-7,000 zoning subdistrict, the expansive footprint offers incredible potential for a high-end multi-unit project. Tap into Jamaica Plain’s premium condo values, proven right in the immediate micro-market: look no further than the successful 4-unit townhouse development directly across the street (207-209 Chestnut) and the new construction directly behind it (23 Chestnut Sq). A+ central locale, just a short walk to Stony Brook T, SW Corridor Park, and the Brewery Complex. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding project feasibility; broker and seller make no representations. Do not walk the lot without an appointment. No open houses.
